Recognizes Sikh community contributions and commemorates Sikh Massacre of 1984.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 189 (AR 189) is a symbolic resolution recognizing the Sikh community's contributions to the state and commemorating the 1984 Sikh Massacre in India. It specifically acknowledges the Sikh community's economic and cultural contributions to New Jersey (home to approximately 100,000 Sikhs) and formally commemorates the 1984 attacks in which roughly 3,000 Sikhs were killed over three days. The resolution describes the 1984 violence as "genocide and ethnic cleansing" and calls for the state to recognize this historical atrocity. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but serves to honor the community's history and advocate for remembrance.
