In 2005, India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh apologized for this brutal massacre, saying, \u201cI bow my head in shame that such a thing took place\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3530667\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the survivors, Bibi Jagdish Kaur, is currently in Ottawa to tell her story. She lost her husband. She lost her son. She lost three cousins during this terrible attack. She is still seeking justice for her family and other victims. I had the opportunity to speak with her and to hear her tragic story.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3530668\" data-originallang=\"en\">Prime Minister Singh has stated that the perpetrators of these crimes need to be brought to justice. I agree. I invite all of my colleagues in the House to join me in condemning this massacre, remembering its victims, and encouraging the Indian government to actively pursue those responsible to ensure that justice is served.</p>",
