“The assassination of Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi on 31-10-1984, by her two Sikh security guards, led to violent attacks on Sikhs and their properties in Delhi and other parts of the country.  The incidents of violence in Delhi started from the evening of 31-10-84.  

 As a result of these riots, hundreds of  Sikhs had to leave their homes and take refuge in relief camps or in other safer places.  Many Sikh families lost their male members and thus suffered great emotional and heavy financial loss.  The Home Minister made a statement on the floor of the Rajya Sabha that the number of Sikhs killed in Delhi during November 1984 riots was 2146; 586 persons were said to have been killed in other parts of the country during that period.”
