14th February |

| 1983 |
11 Sikhs killed
in a strike observed by the Hindus of Punjab.
The Hindus observed a strike throughout the Punjab. On this occasion
they indulged in hooliganism, ransacked the model of Sri Darbar
Sahib, displayed at Amritsar Railway station. The hooligan Hindus
and the Hindu Central Reserve Police (CRP), fired at Sikhs sitting
in their shops and at those going into their houses. Eleven Sikhs
were killed. Not even a single Hindu was wounded. In contrast, when
the Sikhs held a peaceful protest day on April 4, 1983, 26 Sikhs
were killed; but the law is different for Sikhs and for Hindus.
Even if the hooligans and the criminals are Hindus, the Hindu force
has instructions to kill Sikhs only.
Additionally, from 14 until 21 February, Haryana gangs murdered
Sikhs passengers in Panipat and several other area, burned their
Gurdwaras.
