Families of Sikhs killed in the gurdwara attack in the US have so far not received any help from either the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) or the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
Raghuvinder Singh tried to get a visa for the US to get back his father Punjab Singh, who sustained bullet injuries in the attack. But the US Embassy asked him to fulfill certain formalities.
Raghuvinder said that he had been informed that his father’s condition was critical. Gursharan Singh wants to bring back the body of his father, Sita Singh, for the last rites.
The DSGMC has assured him of all help.
He says he will approach the US Embassy for visa tomorrow. Gurpreet, whose uncle Santokh Singh was injured in the attack, says neither the DSGMC nor any government official has approached the family so far. Meanwhile, an SGPC delegation, led by its president Avtar Singh Makkar, today submitted a memorandum to the US Embassy and External Affairs Minister SM Krishna. The SGPC memorandum appealed to the US Ambassador to convey the anguish of the Sikh community over the incident to the US Government.
