A number of voluntary organizations and responsible citizens made the
following demands immediately after the violence:
-
Immediate appointment of a judicial commission to enquire into the role
of the administrative machinery and of members of the ruling party in
perpetrating this catastrophe on the innocent Sikhs of Delhi;
-
Deterrent punishment to all those found guilty;
-
Adequate compensation to and rehabilitation of widows and orphans and
other victims;
-
Overhauling the police machinery with a view to make it a law-abiding
force;
-
Restoration of the people’s faith in the secular character of the State;
We fully support the above demands. We place this report before the
Nation so that justice may be done and shattered faith may be restored.
