BJP Sikh cell to meet PM

NEW DELHI NOV. 1. Terming the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as a ``State-sponsored genocide'', the Delhi unit of the BJP Sikh cell today organised a protest day and urged the Government to bring to book the perpetrators of the massacre.

``It was not a riot, it was a genocide sponsored by the State, in which more than 3000 innocent people lost their lives,'' the Delhi BJP president, Madan Lal Khurana, alleged while addressing a gathering.

He said a delegation of <243>the BJP Sikh cell would soon meet the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, and the <243>Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani and would urge them to honour the suggestions of <243>the Nanavati Commission which is likely to submit its report.

The meeting was attended among others by S.S. Ahluwalia, MP, the State BJP Vice-President Harsharan Singh Balli and City Sikh Cell president, Harbans Singh Chawla.
