U.S. Congressional Committee To Hold Anti-Sikh Riots Hearing
WASHINGTON: A U.S. Congressional committee will conduct a hearing on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots on September 30, the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi would hold a summit meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House.
The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in a statement also announced a special screening of 'The Widow Colony', an award-winning documentary that amplifies the voices of Sikh widows who lost loved ones in the November 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
"After the film, panelists will discuss India's failure to prosecute the architects of the pogroms; discuss the importance that accountability will have for India's future; and provide recommendations for U.S. foreign policy in relation to India," the committee said.
The panelists include Manoj Mitta, author of 'When a Tree Shook Delhi: The 1984 Carnage and Its Aftermath', filmmakers Harpreet Kaur and Manmeet Singh and Sukhman Singh Dhami, co-director of Ensaaf.
