Jallianwala centenary ‘got overlooked’

Dubai, November 3

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre is an important incident of Indian history and its centenary did not receive the attention it deserved, veteran poet-lyricist Gulzar has said.

Gulzar was speaking at the release of Shahmukhi and Malayalam versions of “Khooni Vaisakhi”, a book by former ambassador Navdeep Suri. “Even 150 years of the First War of Independence was marked with a series of programmes, but somehow the Jallianwala Bagh incident hasn’t been given the attention it deserves,” Gulzar said. — PTI
