AMRITSAR: Supporters of Khalistan once again gathered in Golden Temple complex on Wednesday to justify and eulogize the heinous and violent acts of Sikh militants on the occasion of 21st anniversary of Sukhdev Singh Sukha and Harjinder Singh Jinda, assassins of former Army chief General AS Vaidya.
Backed by Shiromani Akali Dal (B), Sikh's largest representative body in India- Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) had organized the function in Gurdwara Jhandae Bungae situated inside Golden Temple complex where bogh (concluding ceremony) of Akhand Path (uninterrupted recital of Sri Guru Granth Sahib) was performed and the family members of both assassins were bestowed upon siropa's (robe of honour) besides speeches were made appealing Sikh youth to 'follow footsteps of Sukha and Jinda'.
Army had conducted Operation Bluestar to flush out heavily armed militants from Golden Temple from June 3 to 6t which was ordered by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the operation was carried out under the instructions of the then Indian Army chief General Arun Shridhar Vaidya who was later assassinated by Sukha and Jinda on August 10 , 1986 while he was driving his car home from market in Pune. Both the assassins were captured and sentenced to death, their execution was carried out on October 9, 1992 in Pune's Yerwada Central jail. Granthi (reader of Sikh scriptures), Golden Temple, Giani Ravel Singh said that both Sukha and Jinda had achieved 'martyrdom' by fulfilling their mission to kill Vaidya who had attacked Golden Temple for the sake of Sikh religion and had upheld the maryada (religious code of conduct) of Sikh's supreme temporal seat Akal Takht.
He also appealed to Sikh youth to take 'lesson' from the 'martyrdom' of both the militants.
Sikh radical organization Dal Khalsa's spokesperson Kanwarpal Singh who was also there to participate in the function said "we have gathered here to pay tributes to them as they are our quami martyrs who embraced martyrdom to avenge the sacrilege of Golden Temple and Akal Takht .
They were martyrs of Khalistan struggle and we feel pride in them," President of Shiromani Akali Dal (Panch Pardhani) Harpal Singh Cheema who was president of Sikh Youth of America and was extradited from there said both Sukha and Jinda were 'martyrs' of Sikh Panth and they remember both of them along with other martyrs in their daily prayer.
