The Delhi Government today distributed job letters to family members of victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. These appointment letters have been distributed by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa at an event in New Delhi. Talking to the media, Delhi Chief Minister said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Delhi government has given appointment letters to 125 people from victim families of 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Gupta said that by distributing these appointment letters, the Delhi Government has not just provided jobs but also recognised the dignity and identity of thousands of families who had waited decades for justice. She called it a landmark step in the journey towards justice for the victims.
“The 1984 riots remain a dark chapter in the history of India — one that is impossible to forget. For those who lost loved ones, no compensation can ever be enough for their pain,” she noted.
The process of delivering justice to the riot victims and punishing the perpetrators truly began after Prime Minister Modi assumed power at the Centre, she said.
As she distributed appointment letters to 125 people, she said that it is akin to “justice walking into their lives after 40 years of silence and struggle”.
