1987 Lalru bus massacre
1987 Lalru bus massacre was a massacre of 38 Hindus by pro-Khalistan Sikh anti-Government terrorists. It occurred on 6 July 1987 at Lalru, presently in Mohali District, when a bus going from Dhilwan in Kapurthala district to Jalandhar was attacked by Sikh militants in which thirty eight people were shot dead in Lalru in the northern state of Punjab, India.Objective
The goal of the terrorists behind the massacre was to drive out the 7 million Hindus living in the state of Punjab and force the Sikhs living outside of the Punjab state to move in. This would have enabled the Sikh separatists to claim the Punjab state as a sovereign country of Khalistan.
