Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Farooq Abdullah claimed on Sunday that some powers did not want the massacre of 34 Sikhs in Chattisinghpora in 2000 to be investigated. "I wanted the judge probing the fake encounter in Brakpora to look into the Chattisinghpora massacre too, but some powers did not want to do it. Now that the central government is headed by a Sikh, the Sikhs of J&K should mount pressure and get the case reinvestigated by a retired supreme court judge," Farooq, who was the chief minister of J&K from 1996-2002, said at a function here. Unidentified gunmen descended on Chattisinghpora on March 20, 2000, and killed 34 Sikhs. Five days later, security forces branded the five men as militants and killed them in Pathribal. Abdullah ordered the exhumation of those killed in Pathribal and their DNA samples were sent to Hyderabad. It emerged that the samples had been fudged. "They were held responsible for killing Sikhs. Thanks to Allah, they were proved innocent." he said. The minister said he is writing a book which will have a chapter on this incident, "This should be opened after my death."

'Some powers didn't want Chattisinghpora investigated'- Farooq Abdullah

We have been casting doubts that the killing of 35 innocent Sikhs of Chittisinghpora, Anantnag, J & K was the handiwork of Indian agents. We have been saying so on the basis of reports of human right activists, newspaper reports and filing of criminal case on 5 Indian officers with a related crime. The Indian Govt on the other hand was expecting from us Sikhs to digest its story that it was the work of terrorists from across the border i.e from Pakistan. Day in and day out we are receiving signals making it amply clear that massacre was work of Delhi's conspiracy. But now a very important thing has happened the then Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mr. Farooq Abdullah has confessed that some powers didn't want Chittisingpora to be investigated. It is a clear signal that it was the work of Indian forces. I request my Sikh brothers overseas to highlight this massacre on the international fora so that the case is investigated and culprits brought to book. I have no hope from the chamcha Congressite leaders of Punjab. Here is the news from two different sources. I have also appended below the other clipping so that background of the case becomes clear.
