He said a Sikh Genocide 1984 remembrance day event was held last year in State Capitol of Connecticut after a state law was enacted to mark the Sikh Genocide Remembrance Day on annual basis. This year an event was held on November 9 where Alderman Joe Delucia read the proclamation on Behalf of Governor of Connecticut Ned Lamont and recognised that there is great need for education on this topic.

Recognising the Fact of 1984 Sikh Genocide:

The Indian state orchestrated a series of genocidal massacre of Sikhs during November 1984. As a result thousands of Sikhs were brutally killed and lakhs were displaced.

The Indian state did not only denied the justice and patronised the culprits but it is also attempting to deny the fact of genocide. Despite India’s denial, the fact of genocide is acknowledged by the state assembly of Delhi in India, provincial parliament of Ontario in Canada, State of Connecticut and Pennsylvania in United States besides many city councils in the Untied States. Recently the fact of genocide was also admitted by Delhi High Court in one of its judgements.
