Caroline Jaine, a former British diplomat 'concerned with public diplomacy and nation branding,' filed a request with the British government to officially lobby an apology for the Jallianwalla Bagh massacre of April 1919.

If the application to e-petition the British Foreign Office is successful and if she can get 100,000 British signatures in support of the statement -- it will be debated in the Hosue of Commons, the British parliament.

In her blog on Dawn.com, she goes on to talk about the Jallianwalla Bagh tragedy, but here's the blooper.

Though most of those killed in the 1919 massacre were Sikhs -- 379 dead -- the photograph used on her blog is one of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale consoling another man. Bhindranwale was killed during Operation Bluestar in June 1984, after Indira Gandhi assigned the Indian Army to clear the Golden Temple of Punjabi extremists. See
