On November 3rd, 2012 Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper along with 3 Sikh MPs Parm Gill, Bal Gosal and Tim Uppal will visit India during the 28th Anniversary of the 1984 Sikh Genocide.
The purpose of the trip is to talk trade, but human rights do not appear to be on the agenda.

Although PM Harper has provided no indication that the 1984 Sikh Genocide will be addressed, human rights activists along with members of the Sikh community are asking that Prime Minster and his Sikh MPs do the right thing and agree to two requests:

  1. Raise the issue of accountability and justice for the 1984 Sikh Genocide with Indian PM Manmohan Singh
  2. PM Harper and his fellow Sikh MPs pay their respects to the thousands of innocent victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide with a visit to Delhi’s ‘Widow Colony’
Members of the Sikh community in particular feel that the lack of justice for victims and impunity provided to members of the Congress government is extremely problematic. They believe that the shielding of members of the Congress Party who were directly involved in the orchestrated massacres has long sustained the trauma and suffering of Sikh victims; many of whom are now Canadian citizens.
TAKE ACTION

The Sikh Activist Network encourages Sikh Canadians to take action in reminding PM Harper and his 3 Sikh MPs that human rights must be a priority and respects should be paid to the victims of the genocide. Here is how you can help:

Email:

2 – Email the following accounts: Tim.Uppal@parl.gc.ca; Bal.Gosal@parl.gc.ca; Stephen.Harper@parl.gc.ca; Parm.Gill@parl.gc.ca
3 – Write the following:
Dear Prime Minister Harper, Minister Gosal, Minister Uppal and MP Parm Gill,
It is my understanding that a government delegation from the Conservative Party of Canada, which includes each of you will be visiting India during the 28th Anniversary of the Sikh Genocide.
During your trip, as a Canadian I have attached an image of a victim from the 1984 Sikh Genocide and urge you to

  1. Raise the issue of accountability and justice for the 1984 Sikh Genocide with Indian PM Manmohan Singh
  2. PM Harper and his fellow Sikh MPs pay their respects to the thousands of innocent victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide with a visit to Delhi’s ‘Widow Colony’
I look forward to your response.
