The APKF has been organising the camp for the past over 25 years to remind the government that the community, which sacrificed a lot for the country, was victimised in a communal pogrom.

“Yet we did not give up our age-old custom of sacrifice by donating blood,” said Jaswinder Singh of the APKF. He said ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’ was their motive.
