| J&K Sikhs demand minority status | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 14- All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) today demanded minority status in Jammu and Kashmir and asked the government to provide special benefits and relief to the 'troubled' community in the state.
Describing Sikhs in the state as a microscopic community, APSCC Convenor Jagmohan Singh Raina said "despite the community being considered a minority in the country, the state has been denying it the benefits."
The representative body of Sikhs in Kashmir also demanded a fresh probe in the massacre of 35 Sikhs at Chattisinghpora in Anantnag district nine years ago.
"We demand impartial probe into the Chhatisinghpora and Mehjoornagar massacres of Sikhs to identify the culprits and bring them to justice," APSCC Convenor told reporters here today.
