[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

In memory of the #SikhGenocide, we reflect on the the lives lost and on the injustices, so they never happen again

I join and express my solidarity with the thousands of Canadians that live with this pain as survivors and bearers of intergenerational trauma

On June 1, 1984, the Indian Army launched a military assault on the Darbar Sahib killing thousands of innocent Sikhs gathered to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Guru Arjan Sahib. ⁣⁣1/4 #neverforget1984

"In 1984 the Indian Govt burned down the Sikh Reference Library."
