Karnal, Aug. 27 -- A day after Nayab Singh Saini led BJP government announced that it would provide jobs to one member each of the 121 families who had lost kin during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Haryana, the Sikh community on Tuesday welcomed the move. During the ongoing assembly session on Monday, the house passed a resolution to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib's martyrdom, after which CM Saini spoke of the extent of destruction during the '84 riots. The chief minister had informed that 121 Sikh from Haryana had lost their lives during the anti-Sikh riots. Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) president Jagdish Singh Jhinda welcomed the move as laudable and said even if it comes after 40 years, he and his committee appreciate the announcement. Jhinda however raised questions on the official figures of 121 and claimed that the number is four to five times more. "The victims are more than 500, but I'm amazed to see the numbers shared by the government. At least 50-100 families were destroyed in Hondh-Chillar village of Rewari. I've started preparing a list of all the victims of the state and will submit it to the chief minister. All should get justice," the president said. Similarly, TP Singh, former executive member of HSGMC (ad-hoc) and president of the Ambala-based Shri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Sewa Society also applauded the government. "Only BJP is able to understand the pain of the Sikh victims," he said. Haryana Minority Commission former chairperson Trilochan Singh meanwhile, termed the announcement as historic. In a statement, BJP state unit vice-president Jasmine Sandhawala, alleged that the violence unleashed in the anti-Sikh riots is a testament that the Congress instead of showing maturity and sagacity stooped to punish an entire community for the actions of a handful. "We welcome the decision of the Haryana chief minister for ensuring justice and support for the affected families," she said, adding, " A tragedy of such magnitude is a significant stigma on the history of our nation."...
