All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) today announced its support for the candidates of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Delhi Assembly polls tomorrow.
"The AISSF cadre has visited each and every house of the 1984 riot effected families to lend their support to AAP for the greater need of the country, for the development of Delhi and to defeat nefarious designs of communal forces," AISSF President Karnail Singh Peer Mohammed said here.
He said that that about 16,000 Sikhs were killed in the massacre of 1984.
He made an appeal to riot-effected families to extend their support to AAP as party leader Arvind Kejriwal had extended full support to riot effected families in formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) during his brief stint as Delhi Chief Minister.
Moahmmed criticised Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh for lending its support to BJP in Delhi elections.
"The dera's anti-sikh activities could never be tolerated... Moreover the Dera Sacha Sauda support to communal forces could never be accepted," he said.
Yesterday the Dera had announced to support BJP candidates in the polls.
