Tribune,January 18, 2002
- Sikh neighborhoods in Delhi have
never been Congress supporters ever since the 1984 riots.
In such localities where hundreds of riot victims have been
rehabilitated, it will take much more than becoming Prime Minister
to appease people. "The Congress was blamed for the 1984
riots and were punished for it and unseated from power. In Gujarat
after the riots, the BJP has now paid for it, so political parties
should keep that in mind," said a local.
Opposition Leaders:
- June 03, 2004: A large number of MPs belonging to the National
Democratic Alliance and Telugu Desam Party today knocked the
door of Rashtrapati Bhavan to press for removal of six tainted
Ministers from Manmohan Singhs Cabinet. Delegation also
raised the issue of Congress leader Jagdish Tytlers alleged
complicity in the 1984 Sikh riots
NRIs Worldwide
- Sikhs and Hindus can
never fight as they have same roots, Majority of NRI
said - it is a failure of democracy and
Central government that even after 20 years of 84 riots,
not a single arrest has been made in the case.
There is also great need for changing the very model
of policing. INDIA policing is still on the model of British colonial
rulers. It has to change
to democratic model from colonial model.....
The day, Sonia Gandhi announced the appointment of Dr. Manmohan
Singh as Prime Minister of India, most of the NRIs around the world
has only one voice... "now India is on right track". NRIs
are looking for today and tomorrow and not what ever happened in
the past . Sonia Gandhi set up a example in the world that she is
looking a future of India by giving chair to Mr. Singh who is
always a quiet, unassuming personality, out of the spotlight
Singh faded into the background. Sonia Gandhi will be a winner
always because:
-
After taking charge of the
party in 1998, Sonia Gandhi went around Sikh places of worship
- gurdwaras - in Delhi apologizing for the riots.
"I feel this kind of incident should not have happened,"
Sonia Gandhi told the Sikhs. "And my husband Rajiv Gandhi
felt the same."
- Hailing the decision of Congress president
Sonia Gandhi to appoint Manmohan Singh as prime minister,
the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC) said her act
would serve as a soothing balm on the "wounded" Sikh
psyche after the 1984 riots....... Amritsar, May 20, 2004
- This action of Sonia Gandhi has applied balm on the deep wounds
of Sikhs masses after 'Operation Blue Star' and the anti-Sikh
riots of '84
Only time will tell if Manmohan Singh is able to
assuage the "hurt" feelings of the Sikhs as Congress has
"not been" favorable towards the community.
"We, NRIs congratulate Manmohan Singh. As a
person we are happy with him. He is not vindictive. But the result
in future will depend on his actions.
It is claimed that Sikhs have now forgotten the
wounds inflicted by the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 was wrong, "riots
cannot be forgotten". NRIs would judge the new Prime Minister
by his ability to ensure the guilty were given exemplary punishment.
Do you think a new chapter would open for Sikhs
due to the elevation of Manmohan Singh? or a Sikh becoming the PM
on behalf of the Congress does not mean that the balm has been applied
on their (Sikhs) wounds.
"it would be better if Manmohan Singh apologize
for the riots on behalf of Congress". said NRI
We, NRIs are not against or in favor of Congress
or BJP or any other party, we like to see who
is changing to democratic model from colonial model.
