Rail Roko on Nov 6 to Send Message to India
WSN Network

JALANDHAR: Victims of 1984 Sikh genocidal attack in Delhi and elsewhere that saw thousands of Sikhs being burnt alive on the roads of the national capital will bring to a halt the entire railway traffic on the Delhi-Ludhiana-Jalandhar-Amritsar section on November 6 with a Rail Roko siege to the tracks to protest against denial of justice to the victims. 

Danga Peerat Welfare Society, a conglomeration of the victims of 1984 massacres, announced the plans for a Rail Roko and said a massive commemoration function is also scheduled for November 14 in Dugri, Ludhiana where Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh, SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar and other Akali Dal leaders of various hues will converge to underline the community's continuing fight for justice. 

Society president Surjit Singh, who is often seen as being allied with the Badal group, said the Rail Roko may inconvenience some people but it was important that the rest of India and the wider world comes to know of the deep anguish of the Sikh community with the way the justice delivery mechanism has completely left out the Sikhs.
