Fawad Demands British Govt’s Apology for Jallianwala Massacre
A day earlier, the 100th anniversary of Jallianwala massacre, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday (April 11) demanded apology from British government over Jallianwala Bagh massacre and Bengal famine.”

Chaudhry took to Twitter and said, “Fully endorse the demand that British empire must apologise to the nations of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh on Jallianwala Massacre and Bengal famine .. these tragedies are the scar on the face of Britain, also KohENoor must be returned to Lahore museum where it belongs”.

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919 when troops of the British Indian Army under the command of Colonel Reginald Dyer fired rifles into a crowd, who had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, Punjab. Colonial-era records show about 400 people died in the northern city of Amritsar when soldiers opened fire on men, women and children in an enclosed area, but local figures put the toll at closer to 1,000.
