He said that the June 1984 massacre is associated with the sentiments of the Sikh community and on this occasion, every year the Sikh community commemorates the invaluable sacrifices of the Sikhs who were martyred during the military attack on Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib and Sri Akal Takht Sahib by holding a martyrdom ceremony.

Advocate Dhami said that it is the common responsibility of everyone to celebrate this day with a sincere approach. To celebrate the martyrdom event peacefully, everyone will have to take a step forward and give priority to national interests.
Advocate Dhami said that as the chief servant of the Sikh organization Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, he is certainly worried about the current situation, but he is also fully hopeful that a meaningful solution will be found.
The SGPC President appealed to the entire nation that if our national priorities are guided by the advancement of the nation with wisdom and understanding, then no one can stop the rise of Sikhism in the world.
