BJP to host 1984 anti-Sikh massacre conclave in Chandigarh

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organize a conclave titled ‘Zakhm 84 De’ in Chandigarh on November 4 to address the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre. According to state party chief Kewal Singh Dhillon, the event aims to educate younger generations about the tragedy, the victims' struggles for justice, and the subsequent efforts toward rehabilitation.

The conclave will include a special exhibition featuring photographs and documentation of the massacre. The program is scheduled to consist of an inaugural session followed by four thematic sessions. Former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who represented victims in legal proceedings related to the Sajjan Kumar case, is set to deliver the keynote address.

Specific sessions will include discussions on how the genocide occurred and whether it was part of a larger conspiracy. These sessions will feature personal accounts from survivors and legal perspectives from senior Supreme Court advocate H. S. Phoolka.
