Courts may acquit, conscience cannot. Punish the guilty of 1984 genocide.
Today’s acquittal of Sajjan Kumar in the 1984 anti-Sikh violence cases is a painful reminder that justice for thousands of innocent Sikh lives remains incomplete.
This was not a “riot” — it was an organised genocide.
Survivors have waited four decades for accountability. Families have lived with trauma, loss, and silence while those accused continue to walk free.
We do not seek revenge.
We seek truth, accountability, and punishment for those proven guilty — regardless of power or position.
A nation that forgets its victims fails its conscience.
Justice for 1984 is not optional. It is overdue.
