Dhami urges Congress to defer rally
Meanwhile Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee president Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami has appealed the Congress to defer its scheduled November 1 rally in the national capital due to anti-Sikh riots anniversary.
Dhami said that every year on November 1, the Sikh community remembers the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh violence in Delhi and other states, in which Congress leaders were accused of playing a role. He said the community pays tribute to the Sikhs who lost their lives during the violence.
He added that June and November remain painful months for Sikhs, as the events associated with these periods continue to reopen wounds within the community.
