A CINDERFORD man is seeking justice for the 500 people killed in the Golden Temple massacre in India in 1984.

Over 30 years ago the Indian government launched an attack on the Sikh's holiest temple the Harmandir Sahib, in Amritsar, Punjab.

Almost 500 civilians were killed in the attack and Satnam Singh, 47, who runs the Jolly Forest Fryer fish and chip shop, is one of the many British Sikhs who are campaigning for justice.

Mr Singh said: "In 1984 the Indian Army launched an attack on the Golden Temple and killed the Sikh pilgrims gathered there.

"The army even killed children as young as two years old. I was living in Punjab at the time of the massacre and many people were burnt to death. We want justice for our people."

The three-day siege, known as Operation Blue Star, was an attempt by the Indian Government to flush out Sikh separatists.

The timing of the attack coincided with a Sikh religious day, the death of Guru Arjan Dev, the founder of the holy temple.
