HRES 908 United States House · 117th Congress

Recognizing February 4th as "Saka Nakodar Day".

HRES 908 is a symbolic resolution recognizing February 4th as "Saka Nakodar Day" to commemorate the 1986 killing of four unarmed Sikh students - Ravinder Singh, Baldhir Singh, Jhilman Singh, and Harminder Singh - by Punjab police during a peaceful protest over desecration of Sikh scripture. The resolution honors the victims' families, who have sought justice for over 36 years after authorities concealed the incident and failed to prosecute perpetrators. It acknowledges the event as a violation of international human rights principles regarding peaceful assembly and accountability. The House of Representatives uses this resolution to express solidarity with the Sikh community and victims' families in their ongoing pursuit of truth and justice.
