AISSF-SFJ to File Writ Petition before Jammu and Kashmir High Court Against Government’s Lack of Action on F.I.R Regarding Killing of Sikhs
Gurudwara Singh Sabha, Village Talwara in District Reasi of Jammu & Kashmir Which was attacked during Sikh Genocide of 1984
Jammu (May 26, 2011): A Mass Grave has been discovered in District Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir where 16 Sikhs were mercilessly murdered by crushing their heads on November 1, 1984. The victims were inside Gurudwara Singh Sabha Talwara colony when the attackers came for them on November 1, 1984, dragged them out and murdered them by crushing their heads with stones and rocks.
According to the 26 years old FIR and other official documents excavated by AISSF and SFJ, 16 Sikhs who were attacked and killed on November 1, 1984 in Talwara Colony, Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir were mostly employees working at nearby Salar Dam. On November 1, 1984, a group of attackers came to the Gurudwara Singh Sabha Talwara Colony where the victims had taken shelter. The attackers got hold of the victims and then tortured to death 16 of them by crushing and grinding their heads with rocks and stones.
AISSF & SFJ announced that they will file a writ petition before Jammu and Kashmir High Court against the Government’s inaction against killing of 16 deaths. It is a matter of grave concern that “despite the evidence and filing of FIR, the killing and murder of 16 Sikhs in Reasi Jammu was not even investigated let alone prosecuted”, stated attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Legal Advisor to Sikhs For Justice
According to Karnail Singh Peermohammad President AISSF, not only the killing of Sikhs in Reasi was brutal and ruthless but the continuous denial of justice is also equally ruthless. Just like the case of Hondh-Chillar Mass Grave, AISSF and SFJ will also take action in the case of Reasi killing by approaching the High Court and by seeking justice for the Sikh victims, added Peermohammad.
AISSF and SFJ released the copies of F.I.R filed 26 years ago and the copies of other documents along with the list of the 16 Sikhs who were killed on November 1984 at Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir.

How sad. So many graves are being discovered and the Indian govt. still has not delivered justice 27 years later. Is this how the “world’s largest democracy” works? They don’t even believe in human rights. SHAME!
Sanu rabb justice dauga
India is after all Hindustan- the home of the Hindus -there is no justice for minorities be they Muslims ,Sikhs or even Christians. The world establishment in its greed for the Indian market is willing to gloss over patent injustices.It is alarming to me how many murderers are walking around in India who killed other people in 1984 and other ‘Riots’ against minorities in India who have never been brought or will ever be brought to justice.All thinking Indians should be worried about this.SHAME!
I am interested to know more about ,this recent news is very shocking. 27 years gone by nothing been done about it… If that’s big democracy mean then sikhs are better of without it all. The sikhs need to get together and seek justice by political means.
shame on Indian government for not doing anything …………..
a vry sad news..indeed
Thats why minorities are asking for separate homeland. Kashmiris want Kashmir. Sikhs want Khalistan. Its all because of this Indian state which is actually a Hindu Zionist state and beats the drums of democracy. In 1984, in operation Bluestar, India did not even spare Golden Temple and destroyed it completely and massacred thousands of sikhs in military and civil action.

We should find out those who had performed such a brutal act. Sometimes I wonder if there is any law in our country.
About 20,000 innocents killed in over 200 cities of India nearly 4000 in Delhi alone countless women raped , property worth hundreds of thousands of crores (1984 prices ) destroyed , looted by hooligans of Congress Party still not a single guilty punished , despite six years of BJP rule at Delhi . On what baisis Indian leaders call India the biggest democracy in the world ?
…“Terrorism” is a description of a means, a method of deliberately attacking or threatening to attack civilian targets in order to achieve political goals. “Freedom fighting” is a description of an end, as a freedom fighter’s goal is national liberation. An individual could participate in “terrorism” and “freedom fighting” simultaneously, because one word describes means, while the other describes ends.
“We never started a war before, but we have finished many.”
political party in india can do anything to get the power kill or rape

It is shameful for a country of 1.1 billion to not find any other leader than a member of the “Gandhi” clan, even 64 years after independence. This clearly highlights the nepotism and corruption ruling the country at every level.
So much for Indian “democracy”!
