D E M A N D S

A number of voluntary organizations and responsible citizens made the following demands immediately after the violence:

1.  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;

2. Deterrent punishment to all those found guilty;

3. Adequate compensation to and rehabilitation of widows and orphans and other victims;

4. Overhauling the police machinery with a view to make it a law-abiding force;

5. 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.
