Amritsar: British PM David Cameron on Wednesday said that the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar was deeply shameful event in British history.
Cameron became the first serving British prime minister to voice regret over the incident.
“This was a deeply shameful event in British history – one that Winston Churchill rightly described at that time as monstrous” the left-handed Cameron wrote in the visitor’s notebook at the massacre site.
His note further read: “We must never forget what happened here”, underlining the word never twice.
“And in remembering we must ensure that the UK stands up for the right of peaceful protest around the world” it said.
