Punjab bandh to protest ’84 riots

Urging the people from all walks of life to extend their cooperation to make the Punjab bandh called by them on November 3 against the 1984 anti-Sikh riots complete and peaceful, the Khalsa Action Committee, the Dal Khalsa and other Sikh groups have declared that buses and trains would be stopped on the day.

Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh clarified that private vehicles would not be stopped and no hospitals or emergency service would be disrupted. Schools and colleges will be, however, not allowed to function.

Describing the 1984 incident as “genocide of Sikhs”, he said a written request had been extended to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, all factions of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party (Karimpuri) and Lok Bhalai Party (Rammowalia) to participate in the bandh.
