New Delhi, October 13
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ask the British Government to tender an apology for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
In a letter to Modi, party’s senior vice-president Prem Singh Chandumajra said, “I request you on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Punjab to write to the UK Government on this issue and build pressure to take the matter to its logical conclusion.”
He said a campaign had been going on for the past several years in India and the UK in this regard.
“It is high time the Government of India seeks a formal apology from Britain for the heinous crime,” Chandumajra added.
The Centre has already decided to observe the massacre’s centenary at the national level next year.
