UK MP Bob Demands Govt Apology On Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy Post 'Kesari Chapter 2' Trailer Buzz

India has long history of struggle and turmoil that peaked under British rule. One of the darkest chapters in the colonial era of India remains the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in 1919, which shook the entire nation. Despite thousands of innocent people losing their lives in the incident, the British Empire or the modern-day UK government never apologised for it, which remains an unsaid demand from countless Indians. Recently, the demand for an apology gained momentum after the trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari Chapter 2 reminded Indians of the pain their ancestors felt years ago. 

UK MP Bob Blackman asks the UK government to apologise for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

Everyone, including the British, knew that General Dyer's order to shoot at innocent people was unfair. Despite that, an apology never arrived. After Kesari Chapter 2's heartfelt trailer once again touched on the topic, netizens began a discussion on the same. Amid that, the demands reached London, where Bob Blackman, a member of the UK Parliament, asked the movement to issue a long-demanding apology. He said:

"Today, I raised the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. I asked the Govt to formally give an apology to the people of India ahead of the atrocities anniversary. On April 13, 1919, families gathered very peacefully in the Jallianwala Bagh to enjoy the day out with their families. General Dyer, on behalf of the British army, marched his troops in and ordered his troops to fire on those innocent people until they ran out of ammunition.

Bob mentioned the massacre, which killed 1,500 people and left 1,200 injured, continues to be a stain on the British empire. The MP, who comes from the Conservative Party in opposition asked for government to issue a formal apology, and a video of his speech went viral. Recalling the atrocities, Bob stated:

"At the end of that massacre, 1,500 people were dead and 1,200 injured. Eventually, General Dyer was disgraced for this stain on the British Empire. So, could we have a statement from the government admitting what went wrong and formally giving an apology to the people of India?"

General Dyer's granddaughter, Caroline Dyer, calls him a 'honorable man'

Amid the debate, a video of General Dyer's great-granddaughter, Caroline Dyer, has surfaced online. She sat down for a conversation with Raj Kohli, whose great-uncle Balwant Singh had survived the brutal attack. People expected the conversation to be a moment of significant reflection, but it became a stir over Caroline's words. Calling Balwant Singh a 'looter,' she said:

"General Dyer is a very honourable man and greatly liked by the Indians who spoke three or four Indian languages, which very few people did. I think history is history, and you've got to accept that."

Kesari Chapter 2 trailer impressed netizens with its storyline, dialogues and impactful performance 

Kesari Chapter 2 is backed by Dharma Productions, where Akshay Kumar will essay the role of lawyer, 'Sankaran Nair', who sued the British Empire for carrying out a 'genocide' in Amritsar. He will face Neville McKinley, who defended the British in the case, and a glimpse of their soul-stirring courtroom drama has already given goosebumps to the audience. Netizens are impressed with its strong storyline, impressive performances, and intense dialogue delivery, such as Akshay asking, "What weapons did you see in the hands of eight-month-old babies? Their karas? Or their clenched fists? The film will be released in the cinema houses on April 18, 2025.
