Encouraged by successful organisation of Punjab bandh yesterday, various Sikh organisations were now planning to move PIL in the Supreme Court (SC) to seek judicial inquiries by high court judges in various states where Sikhs were killed in November 1984 riots.

All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) President Karnail Singh Peer Mohammed and senior advocate of Punjab and Haryana High Court Navkiran Singh, a representative of US-based Human Rights group Sikhs for Justice, said here today that the Sikh organisations have now decided to move the PIL in the Supreme Court for which preparations are in progress and probably it will be filed in January 2010.
