Indira Gandhi’s assassins honored by SGPC inside Sri Darbar Sahib complex 2 days after PM Modi’s security breach

The Congress party which is in power in the Indian state of Punjab has suffered embarrassment after the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) in Amritsar celebrated and commemorated Indira Gandhi’s assassins on January 6, 2021.

Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassins Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh were hanged on 6th January in 1989 and the SGPC commemorated this for their role in the brutal killing of India’s first and only female PM.

The top Sikh body that controls all the Gurudwara paid homage to them in Amritsar Gurdwara Jhanda Bunga inside the Sri Darbar Sahib complex and offered ardas i.e. prayers while remembering the killers as ‘martyrs’ and they also honored their family members.

SGPC members honored Waryam Singh, who is the brother of Satwant Singh along with others. They were given the robe of honor by Gyani Gurminder Singh and SGPC members Manjit Singh Bhurakohna and Advocate Bhagwant Singh Sialka as Gyani Gurminder Singh recited the holy Hukumnama.

The SGPC Amritsar also sent out a tweet in which it said, “Historical Event. Martyrs Bhai Satwant Singh and Bhai Kehar Singh were hanged till death in Delhi Jail. The bodies of these two martyrs were cremated inside the Jail and meanwhile, the Curfew was imposed in Punjab. (6-1-1989)”

This celebration of the assassins of Indira Gandhi came just two days after the security breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi cavalcade.
