NDP Statement Regarding November 1st 1984
The ONDP stands in solidarity with the Sikh Community in remembering the November 1984 Sikh Genocide. From October 31 to November 4th 1984 thousands of Sikhs were killed across India. Hundreds of Sikh homes and businesses were burned. Sikhs places of prayers or Gurudwaras were attacked and destroyed. Members of the Sikh community were targeted and killed based solely on their religious identity. The Sikh community continues to experience trauma from the events of November 1984. We stand with the Sikh community’s call for justice and recognition of their loss. Recognition of harm suffered is the first step to healing and reconciliation.
Jagmeet Singh, MPP Bramalea-Gore-Malton made a presentation to the ONDP Caucus on the anniversary of the Sikh Genocide yesterday.
The ONDP is committed to human rights across the province and the country and continue to work with all communities in creating a better world.
