AMRITSAR: The two killers of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi were honoured by Akal Takht on Sunday, the highest temporal seat of Sikh religion, on their 24th death anniversary amid presence of a local Akali leader.

Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh were hanged on January 6, 1989 after a trial for killing Gandhi in 1984.

Jathedar Gaini Gurbachan Singh presented a 'siropa' (robe of honour) to Tirlok Singh, father of Satwant Singh at a function organized by SGPC.

The 'Jathedar' also accorded them the status of 'martyrs of faith'.

SAD Amritsar president and former MP Simranjit Singh Mann and Dal Khalsa (a Sikh radical outfit) leader Kanwar Pal Singh were present at the occasion.

However, SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar was not present in the ceremony, in which no speech was delivered but Ardas (prayer) was offered in their memory.

Dal Khalsa leader Kanwar Pal Singh told reporters, "On this day, we pay rich tributes to them as they sacrificed their lives to avenge the sacrilege of Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht."

He said,"Sikhs feel proud of them and have full respect for their martyrdom."

Actually nothing wrong in that. They were not anti national. They killed Indira Gandhi because she created Binderwale(Spelling could be wrong) which lead to a holy place being invaded.

 

[Azazel]

Can't anything wrong with that.She has done a lot of horrible things during her reign and we still honor her.She is responsible for whole mess related to bhindranwala and the attack on the golden temple.

 

[doublemaster]

So...nothing wrong right?

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Good work!

 

[perplexed]

Anything for vote bank politics

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Did the shooter use hollow points or regular ammunition?

It matters.

Its not just Sikhs.During the emergency rule my father and his SFI buddies were arrested for protesting and got beaten up by police.He still hates her.She did many horrible things and got what she desreved.

Bangladeshi's and Pakistani's both should honor these brave individuals, because Indira was the mastermind behind the civil war in 1971 that caused a loss of around 300,000 lives as well as other atrocities.

 

[Agnostic_Indian]

disgraceful Bangladeshis and regionalgst Indians.sure she was power hungry and did some horrible mistakes, but killing those rats who were hiding in golden temple was not a mistakes but a brave nationalistic decision.

 

[Sashan]

Despicable of Akal Takt to honor these people especially Satwant Singh - Indira may have done wrong with different things but Satwant Singh is a bodyguard meant to protect her but he shot her which I would call a cowardly act and Akal Takt glorifying this coward? And Indians trying to justify that?

 

[kalu_miah]

To eliminate a devil incarnate that bring death and destruction to humanity is no cowardly act.
