Dal Khalsa to demand memorial for Bluestar martyrs

Dal Khalsa,a radical Sikh body,said on Tuesday that it would hold a week-long programme during the upcoming anniversary of the Operation Bluestar and demand a memorial in the memory of those died in June 1984,inside the Golden Temple complex. In a statement issued here,president of the organisation H S Dhami said silence of the Akali leadership on the memorial even after 26 years of the attack was an attempt at “assassination of memory of the martyrs”. “With heavy heart we announce that in case SGPC fails to take any initiative within the next week,we would be left with no option but to stage a dharna outside the main entrance of Teja Singh Samundhari Hall for 72 hours.”
