The Chittisinghpura Massacre refers to the event in Kashmir when 37 Sikhs were killed by unknown people that were allegedly dressed up in Indian Army clothing, on March 2000. The only person alive from this massacre is Nanak Singh, a civilian who is demanding justice.
This day coincided with the visit of the former President of the United States, Bill Clinton. In a book called The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs (2006) he wrote an introduction where he pointed fingers at "Hindu Militants" for this massacre. He then took out this statement after objection from the Indian state.
