David Cameron, UK’S Prime minister visited the Jallianwala massacre site and called the whole tragedy deeply shameful. The tragedy which killed hundreds of unarmed men and women including children locked inside a public park can’t even be healed or forgotten with an apology. However, the ironical part is that apology was never made. There was much hype about David Cameron’s visit to India and hope of his apologies for the incident, but in vain. India only heard from his mouth, “We must never forget what happened here.”
This statement comes as an act to woo the Sikh community for voting him. However, the response of the people to his statement has worked more towards reopening the past wounds rather than healing it.
On being criticized for not making a full apology, the PM said that it would not be correct to “reach back into history and seek out things you can apologize for.”
