[New Delhi]PM”Modi”Attacks Congress on Kartarpur Sahib+1984 Sikh Genocide
Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday attacked the previous Congress government for its inability to bring Kartarpur Sabib under India during partition.
Releasing a commemorative coin as part of the 350th birth anniversary celebrations of 10th Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh, Modi also came down on the Congress for the 1984 riots that took place following the assassination of the then Prime Minister Smt Indira Gandhi.
He said now devotees do not have to look at the shrine in Pakistan using binoculars and they could visit the place without visa using the corridor.
Guru Nanak passed away in Kartarpur on September 22, 1539.
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, former chief justice of India J S Khehar and several Sikh leaders were present at the Prime Minister’s residence to participate in the event.
Modi said be it Guru Nanak or Guru Gobind Singh, they have taught us to be on the side of justice.
Following the path shown by them, the central government is trying to get justice for the people who suffered during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Modi said.
“The central government is making efforts to get justice for the period of injustice which started in 1984. For decades, mothers, sisters, daughters and sons have shed tears, the law will deliver justice, wipe (their) tears,” the PM said referring to the riots that took place following the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
The PM released a Rs 350 denomination commemorative silver coin to mark the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh.
