BJP to Host Sikh Conference in Chandigarh on November 4, Focusing on 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots

Chandigarh, October 30 (Daily Kiran) : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to hold a significant Sikh conference in Chandigarh on November 4. The event will primarily focus on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, aiming to bring justice to the victims and address the legal battles fought by their families.

According to top party sources, the all-day conference will be dedicated to the victims of the 1984 violence and their families. It will feature multiple sessions discussing the riots, subsequent legal proceedings, and efforts to attain justice.

The BJP plans to invite families affected by the riots to participate in the event. Sources indicate that lawyers representing the victims and judges who have presided over related cases may also attend.

Various sessions will be held during the conference, with speakers discussing different aspects of the 1984 riots, including legal actions, struggles for justice, and personal experiences from affected families.

The timing of this conference coincides with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi‘s visit to Punjab, adding a political dimension to the BJP’s initiative in the state.

The 1984 anti-Sikh riots remain a politically sensitive issue in Punjab. The BJP has often criticized Congress regarding the efforts to secure justice for the victims. It is anticipated that the party will use this platform to highlight the issue and reaffirm its commitment to accountability and justice for affected families.

This event is strategically planned ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, as the BJP seeks to enhance its political presence and strengthen its appeal among Sikh voters.

By bringing together victim families and legal representatives, the party aims to engage with the Sikh community while prominently addressing the issue of justice. The official schedule, list of speakers, and attendees for the event are yet to be announced.
