In the tribute program organized at the party’s state central office, the party leaders and workers present, including state chief Manish Sahni, paid their emotional tribute to the Hindu-Sikhs who lost their lives in the massacre by Pakistani soldiers and tribesmen on November 25, 1947 and expressed full sympathy towards the displaced people.
