Change policy towards India, Sikhs to tell British govt

Rashmee Roshan Lall

[ 16 Sep, 2006 0044hrs ISTTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

LONDON: Europe's first – and only – Sikh political party is to call on Sunday from a podium shared by at least one British minister and several MPs, for Britain to change its "policy towards India ...and take a tougher stand on abuse of human rights, discrimination against minorities, degradation of the environment and economic assistance for the Punjab".

At its third national convention, expected to be attended by 10,000 Sikhs, the Sikh Federation, which was established in 2003, called for Britain to stand true to its "moral and historic responsibility to help Sikhs regain their lost sovereignty".

Sikh Federation officials told TOI that they expected to share the limelight with cabinet office minister Pat McFadden, Rob Marris Labour Party MP for the heavily Sikh-dominant Wolverhampton South-West constituency and Sayeeda Warsi, the vice-chair of Conservative Party.

The convention is described as the largest political gathering of Sikhs in the UK. The federation, which has run a high-pitched and concerted campaign for Sikh rights across Europe admitted it was flirting with controversy in suggesting a wholesale change in British foreign policy at this point of time.
