100 years of Jallianwala bagh massacre: British govt expresses regret, Indian leaders pay tributes

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A hundred years ago, on April 13, 1919, thousands of Indians had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar for a pro-Independence demonstration on Baisakhi festival when the British Indian Army under the command of General Reginald Dyer blocked the main exit and opened fire at them, aiming wherever the fleeing crowds were thickest. The massacre left hundreds dead and over a thousand injured.

On 100 years of Jallianwala Bagh massacre, tributes and political reactions have been pouring in from around the world. Many are demanding official apology from Britain for the gruesome mass murder that took place a century ago.

Apologising for the massacre, British PM Theresa May wrote, “The tragedy of Jallianwala Bagh of 1919 is a shameful scar on British Indian history. As Her Majesty the Queen (Elizabeth II) said before visiting Jallianwala Bagh in 1997, it is a distressing example of our past history with India.”

Britain’s opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbin said, “Those who lost their lives in the massacre deserve a “full, clear and unequivocal apology for what took place.”

British High Commissioner to India Dominic Asquith said, “The events of Jallianwala Bagh 100 years ago today reflect a shameful act in British-Indian history. We deeply regret what happened and the suffering caused.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, “Today, when we observe 100 years of the horrific Jallianwala Bagh massacre, India pays tributes to all those martyred on that fateful day. Their valour and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Their memory inspires us to work even harder to build an India they would be proud of.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Congress President Rahul Gandhi, said, “The cost of freedom must never ever be forgotten.

On Thursday, May 18, light rain is predicted for in Delhi based on the seven-day prediction for the city. The sky will mainly be cloudy, with the potential of a light  rain or drizzle, according to the weather office.

The air quality will continue to be deteriorated in the city after strong winds with dust swept across the Delhi-NCR on Tuesday. Following this, visibility had reduced to 1000 metres. Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of regional forecasting centre, said the dry atmosphere is one of the reasons for the dust storms.

Following Tuesday’s severe winds and dust storm that blasted across the Delhi-NCR, the city’s air quality had taken an alarming dip.

The monsoons, which are awaited across India, are likely to make landfall in Kerala on June 4. Usually, the monsoon arrives on May 31 or June 1 but the delay will be made up as the phenomenon progresses on its south-west to north-east arc. With extreme temperatures right from a cold sytart to May to dust-laden winds in mid-May, the weather in the country is paying the price for accelerating climate change.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu has filed a complaint with the Punjab Police after he spotted a suspicious person wrapped in a grey blanket on his terrace. He alleged a security lapse at his Patiala home. He couldn’t catch him as he fled after his servant raised an alarm.

Taking to Twitter, Sidhu said, Today on the terrace of his residence an unknown suspicious character wrapped in a grey blanket was noticed around 7:00 pm, the moment his servant went out raised the alarm, and called for help, he immediately ran and escaped.

The 59-year-old further said that he has spoken to DGP Punjab Police and has also informed SSP Patiala. He said the security lapse will not deter him from raising his voice for Punjab.

Earlier today, another Air India incident occurred where a London-bound flight returned to Delhi’s IGI airport after a mid-air brawl between an unruly passenger and the flight’s cabin crew.

A brawl ensued between a passenger and the crew members shortly after it departed from the airport at around 6:35 am. The onboard ruckus forced the plane to turn around and return to Delhi again where the raucous passenger was deboarded and handed over to the police at the airport.

Air India apologized to the passengers on the affected Delhi-London flight for the delay and inconvenience caused to them due to the incident and assured them that efforts will be made to ensure such incidents do not occur in the future.
