The BJP's Jay Panda has announced that the Indian delegation will present facts to counter Pakistan's fake narrative regarding the genocide of Sikhs in 1984. The Indian delegation, led by Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, will attend the session hosted by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Switzerland. Panda highlighted the importance of telling the story of the 1984 genocide, which saw the targeting of Sikhs across India, with many murdered in the national capital of New Delhi.
The delegation aims to produce evidence countering the Pakistan-led conspiracy theories and false narratives regarding the events of 1984. Panda stated that the delegation would "proudly present the facts about the lives of Sikhs, their contributions, their religion, and their place in the Indian society."
The Hindu nationalist BJP party has repeatedly called for an investigation into the 1984 genocide, which many Sikhs hope will bring justice to those affected by the violence. The delegation's mission to the UNHRC presents a significant step towards rectifying the false historical record and telling the true story of the events of 1984.
The announcement comes after the Sikh community expressed disappointment at the Indian government's lack of action on the matter. Despite calls for justice and a formal investigation, no concrete steps have been taken to hold those responsible for the genocide accountable.
It remains to be seen whether the Indian delegation's presence at the UNHRC will lead to any meaningful change or action. However, the Sikh community and many others will hope that the shedding of light on the facts of 1984 will bring the justice needed.
