... Four thousand people were killed in this great national tragedy that took place in 1984. Thisshould be an occasion for introspection, how working together as a united nation, we can find newpathways to ensure that such ghastly tragedies never again take place in our country ...... I have nohesitation in apologising not only to the Sikh community but the whole Indian nation because whattook place in 1984 is the negation of the concept of nationhood and what is enshrined in ourConstitution. So, I am not standing on any false prestige. On behalf of our Government, on behalf ofthe entire people of this country, I bow my head in shame that such a thing took place. But, Sir, thereare ebbs, there are tides in the affairs of nations. The past is with us. We cannot rewrite the past, but ashuman beings, we have the willpower and we have the ability to write better future for all of us .....
