The question has to be asked where there any serving or ex-members of the Police that were/are involved in these paedophile rings? The same question needs to be asked about those in Social Services and the CPS, this is in part of the due to the following news articles that recently came to light:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9254982/Rochdale-grooming-trial-police-knew-about-sex-abuse-in-2002-but-failed-to-act.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/29/guardian-investigation-abuse-power-police?newsfeed=true

SarabhaPanjab, Singhni and others your comments are welcome in trying to protect the children but also no ifs, no buts, public enquiry now into the failings of the Police, CPS and Social Services in their negligence to protect 'children' from Pakistani grooming gangs. This should be a Judge led enquiry and ALL participants to swear under oath. The Police failed to serve and protect. The CPS are meant to prosecute if there was enough evidence and in the public interest. The Social Services provided no services to the children. Enough is enough the Police, CPS and Social Services need to be in the dock to answer for their failings. A public apology to Shere Panjab is in order after all they brought the issue up of grooming over a generation ago.

Dear Sikh Sangat, Don't forget the victims in these cases we are talking about children! Also apart from the bias of the BBC, don't forget the Police and CPS which you and I pay for did not give these cases the full attention on the outset many, many years ago. Shere Panjab highlighted grooming over a generation ago, the Police and CPS need to stand in the dock for negligence and be jailed, their failures have destroyed children lives, At the moment Surrey Police are under investigation in regards to the hacking of Milly Dowler voicemail. The Police were aware a murdered school girl’s phone was hacked but failed to act upon this evidence. http://www.telegraph...owler-case.html I urge all the Sangat to write to your MPs asking for a Judge lead enquiry (where all participants are sworn under oath) in to the Police and CPS role in prosecuting child grooming cases. Your local MP has the power to table a motion in Parliament. Before you ask I have done this with my MP on previous occasions and organized a march many years ago but this requires the Sikhs and the good people of Britain to highlight this issue and make a stand, it’s simply a numbers game. Long Live the Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh This is what Sikhism is all about to be supportive and not to judge, well done to Sikh Channel and SAS for showing courage, awareness, intelligence and empathy in this very sensitive topic, now hopefully the Sikh Panth will have the 'tools' at their disposal to safeguard their children Moving forward as typical the Police have been found to be lacking and have failed to enforce and uphold the law they are supposed to represent. If there are Sikhs out there with the necessary education, career and political connections there needs to be calls for a very high level public enquiry in to their failings of the Police.

BBC News South Asia 21 September 2010 Last updated at 18:25 Commonwealth Games: India vows to fix Delhi village Sanjoy Majumder explains the problems with the athletes' village Senior officials in Delhi have insisted that the Indian capital will be ready to host the Commonwealth Games. The comments come after the athletes' accommodation was criticised and branded as unfit for human habitation. Continue reading the main story Related stories * British teams raise Delhi doubts * Delhi loses patience with Commonwealth Games International delegates have said the facilities are filthy and unhygienic, just days before athletes arrive. A senior official said Westerners had "different standards" of hygiene, but that the site was being thoroughly cleaned before the opening. Delegates who visited the tower blocks where athletes will live during the games had described them as filthy, with rubble lying in doorways, dogs inside the buildings, toilets not working and excrement "in places it shouldn't be". Speaking at a news conference in Delhi, Lalit Bhanot, secretary general of the Delhi organising committee, said the authorities understood the concerns shown by some member countries and the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF). But he suggested that the complaints could be due to "cultural differences". Continue reading the main story “Start Quote Clearly, the 'Indian way' hasn't worked - and the Games are turning out to be India's bonfire of vanities” End Quote Soutik Biswas BBC Delhi online correspondent "Everyone has different standards about cleanliness. The Westerners have different standards, we have different standards," he said. Mr Bhanot said the situation was "under control" and that he was "sure and confident" that cleaning in the residential areas would be complete by the time teams start arriving on 23 September. He said he had visited many athletes' villages over the years and had never known one of such high quality. "This is a world-class village, probably one of the best ever," he said. 'Shocked' Mr Bhanot's strong defence comes after Commonwealth Games Federation President Michael Fennell said he had written to India's cabinet secretary urging immediate action over the conditions in the village. Mr Fennell said officials of teams set to take part in the games had been impressed with the international zone and main dining area, but "shocked" by the state of the accommodation itself. The overhead bridge was to connect the car park with the main stadium "The village is the cornerstone of any Games and the athletes deserve the best possible environment to prepare for their competition," he said. There were also reports in the Indian media that only 18 of 34 residential towers at the village have been completed. Chris Jenkins, chef de mission for the Welsh Commonwealth team, told the BBC there had been "major snagging issues" in the facilities. "There was water leaking in many of the bathrooms. They hadn't been cleaned, it was filthy. There were dogs in the towers. It was terrible." He said some of the ground floor rooms had been "effectively flooded" during heavy rain and were covered in mud. New Zealand chef de mission Dave Currie has suggested the Games might even have to be cancelled. He told New Zealand commercial radio on Tuesday: "If the village is not ready and athletes can't come, obviously the implications of that are that it's not going to happen. "It's pretty grim really and certainly disappointing when you consider the amount of time they had to prepare." New Zealand, Scotland, Canada and Northern Ireland have demanded their teams be put up in hotels if their accommodation is not ready. Commonwealth Games England has called for "urgent" work on the facilities, raising concerns about "plumbing, electrical and other operational details". Security fear Continue reading the main story 2010 COMMONWEALTH GAMES * It is the first time India has hosted the Commonwealth Games * 7,000 athletes and officials from more than 70 Commonwealth teams competing in 260 events in 17 disciplines * Opening ceremony on 3 October at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium * Games risk damage with delay To add to the concerns, an elevated walkway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium collapsed on Tuesday, injuring 23 construction workers, five seriously. It is not clear what caused the collapse of the walkway, which was being built to link a car park to the arena, where the Games opening ceremony is to take place. Mr Bhanot said the collapse was unfortunate, but would not affect the Games. Security concerns surrounding the Games were heightened on the weekend, when gunmen shot and wounded two tourists near Delhi's Jama Masjid, one of India's biggest mosques. It prompted Australia's world discus champion Dani Samuel to pull out of the Games, with her management saying she was "extremely stressed" by the incident. "The situation in Delhi has been bothering her for some time... But the events over the weekend made it real," her manager Hayden Knowles told the Australian Associated Press. The BBC's Mark Dummett in Delhi says the Indian government had hoped that hosting the Commonwealth Games would highlight the country's strengths. But many Indians now worry that the opposite has happened, says our correspondent, and that the country's weaknesses have been very publicly exposed by the many problems, delays and allegations of mismanagement in the build up to the Games.

A lot of this is down to the parents in the way the children behave and the failure to ground them in the principle of Sikhi. Go round a Sikhs house and they will reel off the latest Bollywood blockbuster or Bhangra band yet ask them the concepts of Miri/Piri they are at a loss. If you think our religion has problems look at the Abrahamic faiths. Only recently the Church of England still cannot decide on allowing women bishops, yet Guru Nanak in his infinite wisdom gave praise and equality to women many hundred of years ago. We as Sikhs have a sound belief system that has stood the test of time and can be used as a basis for the fair and equal treatment of mankind, lets not get too hung up when our youth and parents lack etiquette.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-alderson/7629540/Police-braced-for-criticism-over-new-Blair-Peach-death-disclosures.html Police braced for criticism over new Blair Peach death disclosures Highly damaging revelations that will implicate former Metropolitan Police officers in the death in 1979 of schoolteacher Blair Peach will be published this week. By Andrew Alderson, Chief Reporter Published: 8:45PM BST 24 Apr 2010 Highly damaging revelations that will implicate former Metropolitan Police officers in the death in 1979 of schoolteacher Blair Peach will be published this week. Blair Peach The force will publish some 2,000 pages of documents relating to Mr Peach who died after he was hit over the head during a demonstration in London. They include a previously secret police report drawn up months after Mr Peach's death which concluded that the blow which killed him was likely to have been struck by a police officer on duty. The New Zealand-born anti-racism campaigner was knocked unconscious during the demonstration against the National Front in Southall, west London, on April 23, 1979. He died the next day. Six officers have been pinpointed as the ones likely to have struck Mr Peach but they have all been unable – or unwilling – to identify the guilty party. All the men have since retired from the force. The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that a Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) review of the case has concluded there can be no charges over the death of Mr Peach, 33. The CPS ruling has paved the way for the Metropolitan Police to publish the previously confidential documents, which one senior source said will be "uncomfortable reading for the Met". Sir Paul Stephenson decided shortly after being appointed as Metropolitan Police Commissioner in January 2009 that – in the interests of openness and transparency – he wanted to publish the reports relating to Mr Peach's death. Sources say he wanted to draw a line under one of the most unsavoury episodes in the history of the Met. However, before publishing the documents, Sir Paul wanted to ensure that there was no likelihood of a prosecution so he asked Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, for a CPS review of the case. This has concluded that without new evidence, or a confession, there is no realistic possibility that charges can be brought. A press briefing is being arranged for this week when previously unpublished reports will be made public for the first time. It is understood that hundreds of pages have been redacted to protect the identities of individual police officers involved in the inquiry. Mr Peach's death has been likened to that of Ian Tomlinson, 47, a newspaper vendor, who died during the G20 demonstrations on April 1, 2009. Video evidence suggested that he was struck by a baton-wielding police officer and the CPS is currently examining a file on his death. Critics of the Met are likely to conclude that there has been a conspiracy of silence among officers to protect the man responsible for Mr Peach's death. Eleven witnesses said they had seen one or more members of the Met's Special Patrol Group (SPG) strike Mr Peach. It was suspected that he been hit by a rubberised police radio or a similar object. An inquest jury returned a verdict of death by misadventure in May 1980 but there was widespread criticism of the way the late Dr John Burton, the coroner, handled the hearing and the lack of sympathy he seemed to show towards Mr Peach's death and the actions of peace campaigners. At the April 1979 demonstration, fighting began when thousands of protesters gathered to demonstrate against a National Front campaign meeting. In the confrontation that followed, more than 40 people, including 21 police, were injured, and 300 were arrested. Bricks and bottles were hurled at police, who described the rioting as some of the most violent ever seen in the capital. A pathologist report said Mr Peach died from injuries to his skull that were likely to have been caused by a lead weighted rubber cosh or hosepipe filled with lead shot. When Mr police investigators raided officers' lockers at the SPG headquarters, they uncovered a stash of unauthorised weapons, including a metal cosh, but this was ruled out as the weapon that killed the peace campaigner. Mr Peach's funeral was attended by some 10,000 people, and he became a hero among the Sikh community, some of whom had been targeted in the 1970s by the National Front. After the inquest verdict, Mr Peach's long-term girlfriend, Celia Stubbs, campaigned for many years for a public inquiry into his death. However, this was ruled out in April 1999 by Paul Boateng, then the Home Office minister. Mr Boateng said too much time had elapsed to hold a worthwhile inquiry into what he called a "tragedy". The most interesting reading this week is likely to be the report drawn up by Commander John Cass just months after Mr Peach's death. Mr Cass is believed to have concluded that an "unauthorised weapon", including possibly a police radio, was used to strike Mr Peach. Another senior officer, Ian Quinn, conducted a review of the case in 1999 and this too is expected to be made public this week. Sir Paul, who was originally Acting Commissioner after the resignation of Sir Ian Blair in September 2008 before getting the job permanently four months later, has tried to bring greater openness to the Met. As Deputy Commissioner of the force, Sir Paul was a driving force behind the decision to publish the 832-page report by Lord Stevens, the former Met Commissioner, into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. Again, he favoured openness and he hoped the report being made public in December 2006 would quash conspiracy theories over her death. The 23-member Metropolitan Police Authority, which scrutinises the Met and the work of the Commissioner, will also welcome the release of the documents. Alan Murray, a former Scotland Yard inspector who as head of the SPG in 1979, has said he believes Mr Peach was either unlawfully killed or murdered, but he does not believe his men were responsible. Mr Murray, who in 1979 was a 29-year-old inspector, resigned shortly after Mr Peach's death and is now a university lecturer. He claimed the Met's investigation – which focused on those SPG officers near Mr Peach when he collapsed – was flawed. "I resigned because of the way the investigation was conducted," he said. "It is a matter of abiding regret that Blair Peach was killed that day."

In 2007 the world witnessed the beginnings of the economic storm which tipped the world in to recession. With economic growth now beginning to return Economist have called this last recession the Great Recession. I am intrigued to know how you as Sikhs fared in the economic downturn or are you aware how others suffered. At this point of time the USA unemployment count is 15 million from a low of 7 million, there must have been Sikhs caught up in this whirlwind? Over to you.

WaheGuru, so sad, ;-( , K.Singh Deep Jee sounded like a true gentleman.

Us Sikhs know through bitter experience grandparents generation suffered in 1947, we have also witnessed of late the attacks of Sikhs in Afghanistan by the Taliban. I also know of Sikhs and Indians who had to leave Uganda and Kenya in the 1970s when Idi Amin took power. What concerns me is with the volatile situation on the African continent are Sikhs and Indians safe from danger. I say this with what is happening with the white community in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I am not making any suggestions of racism but it has to be said with the Sikhs and Indians being such a minority and a successful one how are they fairing in Africa? My advice is to Sikhs looking to emigrate from India and make a better life please reconsider if Africa or the Middle East is an option?

I said it before I say it again the Sikh Community should allow and support free movement of all those accused in the anti Sikh riots of 1984, look what the US courts are doing to Kamal Nath. I also stated before Rob Marris MP Wolverhampton South West is no friend of the Sikhs! Kamal Nath summoned by US court for alleged role in anti-Sikh riots 7 Apr 2010, 1200 hrs IST,PTI NEW YORK: Road Transport and Highways Minister Kamal Nath has been summoned by a US federal district court for his alleged role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots based on a case filed by a Sikh outfit. In the civil case filed under the Alien Torts Claims Act, the petitioners sought compensatory and punitive damages for several allegations including crimes against humanity, degrading treatment and wrongful killing. However, Nath, who is incidentally here on a visit, said he was "surprised and appalled" as the case has been filed 25 years after the anti-Sikh riots in India. "I really have no clue about it. I don't have a basis and I don't know the authenticity. I don't know the validity. It was for the first time that I saw it," Nath told PTI when asked to comment on the case. Nath has been served a notice and has to respond within 21 days failing which the court will give a default judgment on the matter. The minister said that he would have to study the matter further. "A piece of paper was given to me. I will have to see what the piece of paper is all about," he said. Nath stressed that he had never been charged in any court and questioned why these allegations were being raised more than two decades after the tragedy and that too in a foreign land. "Nobody has ever charged me in India. But if the United States charges me 25 years later for something that has happened in India...well it just reflects on the authenticity," he said. "For the last 25 years I wasn't involved...suddenly in 2010 I get involved...There was nobody who stood up and said that he was a victim or that I was in any way connected. So I'm surprised and appalled." The case has been filed by two Sikhs, Jasbir Singh and Mahinder Singh on behalf of the New York based organisation, Sikhs for Justice. Their attorney Gurpatwant Pannun claimed Jasbir lost 24 members of his family and Mahinder, who was two-years-old then, lost his father. "In India it is impossible to hold human rights violators," Pannun told PTI. The Sikh group said that they are acting now because they have given up hope for action to be taken in India. "We waited for all these years because commissions were being set up...there was hope but because of his position Kamal Nath has successfully avoided justice for 25 years," said Pannun.
