Sikh Leaders said that neither justice has been done nor adequate compensation and healing touch has been provided to families of these innocent victims, which is a blot on the face of secularism, justice and democracy. Sikh leaders said “we are being discriminated in every field of life in Jammu and Kashmir and similarly no justice has been done with us in many others Anti-Sikh riots and mysterious killings. Which has badly shaken the faith of minority Sikh community in justice delivering system and it clearly indicates that there are two yard sticks that govern the norms for delivering justice in Jammu and Kashmir”.
