NDP's Official Statement on the Anniversary of the 1984 Sikh Genocide

According to Sikh Siyasat “The NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made the following statement:
“From November 1st to 4th, Canadians and Human Rights Advocates will mark the 34thanniversary of the 1984 Sikh Genocide.
Sikh men were burned alive. Women were subject to unthinkable sexual violence and children were murdered in gruesome fashion.
Many, including, former Indian Supreme Court Justice, GT Nanavati have pointed out that state resources were instrumental in these premeditated killings.
That is why I join and express my solidarity with the thousands of Canadians that live with this pain as survivors and bearers of intergenerational trauma.
It is also why efforts for healing and reconciliation must be prioritized.
