British envoy to India says his country regrets a massacre of hundreds of Indians by British colonial forces 100 years ago and 'will continue to do so.'
British High Commissioner to India Dominic Asquith, second left, pays homage to commemorate century of the Jallianwala Bagh incident, in Amritsar, India, Saturday, April 13, 2019. On April 13, 1919, hundreds were killed and more than 1,200 injured after British troops led by Reginald Dyer opened fire on a peaceful gathering at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.
He spoke at a memorial marking the centenary of the attack at Jallianwala Bagh by British colonial troops against unarmed Indians attending a peaceful rally calling for independence. “The revulsion that we felt at the time is still strong today,” British High Commissioner Dominic Asquith said as he paid tribute at the Jallianwala Bagh memorial in Amritsar.
