Parkash Singh Badal sought a comprehensive relief package for the riot

Badal sought a comprehensive relief package for the riot victims saying Union government must set up a Commission of Inquiry, headed by a Supreme Court judge to inquire the entire "conspiracy" including official and political patronage behind the massacre in a time bound manner.

He further said that the Commission should submit its report within six months.

The Chief Minister further said it was "grave injustice" to the victims that for more than three decades justice has been denied to them."Even where some action was initiated under public pressure, progress has been deliberately slow and complaints have been pending without any FIRs being registered," he alleged.

Badal demanded setting up of special dedicated courts to expedite the delivery of justice where FIRs have been registered and challans presented.

The CM, who performed the ground breaking ceremony to start the construction of this memorial at Gurudwara Rakabganj Sahib here today, was accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.

Delhi BJP Chief Satish Upadhay was also present at the event who pledged all "possible support" to the Sikhs in their quest for justice regarding the 1984 riots.The memorial was being built by Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC).

Speaking at the event, the President of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Committee Manjit Singh GK said that memorial is an attempt to pay homage to the martyrs and victims of 1984.
