AMRITSAR: Canada-based NGO, Professor Mohan Singh Memorial Foundation, has begun a move to impress upon British government for an official apology for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by handing over a memorandum to Jeremy Corbyn, leader, Labour Party (UK).
While talking to TOI over phone from UK on Saturday, president of Foundation, Sahib Thind informed, “We hope the government of the United Kingdom will agree to join other western nations by addressing the historic injustices, beginning with an official apology in Parliament, for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of 1919,” adding that Foundation had handed over the memorandum to Corbyn who had also supported the cause.

Foundation had been instrumental in pressurising Canadian government to tender an apology for the Kamagata Maru incident for over two decades following which Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau formally apologised in the House of Commons for the Komagata Maru incident on May 18, 2016.
