‘Accountability Still Missing for 1984 Sikh Massacre’

By Tricitynews Reporter

Chandigarh 05^th November:- A Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the central government must not waste the opportunity to deliver justice for the 1984 Sikh massacre, said Amnesty International India today at the Chandigarh launch of a campaign digest on the massacre.

Titled “32 years and waiting: An era of injustice for the 1984 Sikh massacre’’, the campaign digest outlines the cover up that followed the massacre and the status of various official investigations over the last 32 years. The digest also carries personal accounts of survivors.

The Delhi police had closed investigations into hundreds of cases after the massacre, citing a lack of evidence. A special investigation team (SIT) constituted by the central government in January 2015 to re-investigate cases related to the massacre, has made slow progress. In November, it had identified 58 cases for reinvestigation.

Sanam Sutirath Wazir, Campaigner at Amnesty International India, said that the SIT raised hopes among victims and survivors that they would finally get justice. But the SIT’s apparent lack of transparency so far has been disturbing.

The SIT has the authority to file charges against accused persons where there is sufficient available evidence. It was originally given six months to complete this exercise, but received extensions in August 2015 and August 2016. It is now slated to complete its investigation in February 2017, two years after it was set up.

In June 2016, Amnesty International India and a range of prominent activists, journalists, lawyers and political leaders made a series of recommendations related to effective investigation, comprehensive reparations and legal reforms, to be submitted to the Ministry of Home affairs.

Since November 2014, over 600,000 people, most of them from Punjab have supported Amnesty International India’s campaign demanding justice for the victims of the massacre.

A short film on the life of Darshan Kaur, a survivor of the massacre, was also screened at the event. Darshan Kaur, who was 21 years old during the violence, lost her husband and 12 relatives.

Kher Writes to Jaitely:Demands Film Institute for Chandigarh

By Tricitynews Reporter

Chandigarh 05^th November:- Kirron Kher, Member of Parliament has demanded a Film Institute for Chandigarh. In a letter written to Union Minister of Finance Arun Jaitely, Kirron Kher has requested him to grant a Film Institute to Chandigarh in the upcoming Budget Session. In her letter she has mentioned that Chandigarh is a city of educational institutions and the entire Northern Indian Belt is devoid of any institute that would teach and skill young aspirants in the craft of film making. She has further written that Chandigarh caters from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and Uttar-Pradesh. The film industry in Punjab is thriving and yet people who apply to FTII in Pune don’t get admission as the seats are limited. Some great talent never realizes its potential as it cannot get the requisite training. 

It may be mentioned that Kirron Kher has been saying that she is trying to bring a hi-tech Film Institute in Chandigarh ever since she got elected as Member of Parliament. She had said that Chandigarh has tremendous untapped potential as a Film Institute to cater to the Punjabi and Bollywood film industry. Presently, the directors have to go all the way to Mumbai to get sound mixing, editing, dubbing, special effects and other processes done to get the final output. So, If we have a full fledged film institute in Chandigarh, it would save the directors from a lot of transportation costs and booking troubles. Further, it will boost Chandigarh`s economy by creating huge employment as also will bring Chandigarh on national and global map as a preferred filming and shooting destination.
