Sikh bodies, Khalsa Action Committee and Dal Khalsa, have urged the Haryana Chief Minister to constitute a judicial commission to probe into the well-planned killings of Sikhs in Rewari district of Haryana and to bring the mighty conspirators and perpetrators to book.
In a statement KAC chairman Mohkam Singh and Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh said the commission should be headed by the sitting judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court with a clear mandate and specific timeframe.
Urging the Haryana CM to act fast sensing the gravity of the crime committed by Congress sponsored frenzied mob 26 years ago, they said a delegation of KAC would soon meet Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda to hand over the memo in this regard.
They said it had come into light that on Nov 2 1984, 35 Sikhs were burnt alive by mob that thronged the village from nearby. The village consisting of torched houses, a burnt Gurudwara and scattered human bones has now been discovered by Manvinder Singh Giaspur an engineer by profession based at Gurgaon.

They said the then chief minister of the state Bhajan Lal was prime suspect and his role should also be brought under scanner along with the district police head of those times.
