OTTAWA, July 4

The World Sikh Organization (WSO) recognizes the distress and disappointment felt by the Sikh community following the broadcast of the documentary "Samosa Politics" on CBC Television's The National on Thursday June 28, 2007.

At a time when Sikh Canadians celebrate their Canadian citizenship along-side fellow citizens of every profession, race, culture and creed, it is disheartening to see that one of Canada's most respected Crown Corporations has aired a documentary which so grievously hurt the Sikh community with its factual errors and misrepresentations. Over the Canada

Day weekend, the WSO received hundreds of emails and phone calls from discouraged and frustrated Sikh Canadians who are appalled at the inaccurate, imbalanced and negative media portrayal of the Sikh community.

We assure the Canadian public, and Sikh Canadians in particular, that the WSO has and will continue to protect the interests of the Sikh community in every way possible. While the negative reaction to "Samosa Politics" is understandable and justified, the WSO insists that the community's response must be calm, carefully considered and constructive.

The Canadian Sikh community is looking to the WSO to take the lead in redressing the wrong that has been committed and we pledge that every effort will be made to set the record straight and see that the truth comes to light.

The Sikh community has faced many struggles over its 100 years of history in Canada, and we will continue to overcome them with grace and dignity.

As an organization that has opened its doors wide to all Canadians, supporting non-Sikh faiths in their similar struggles for understanding and perspective, the WSO calls upon all Canadians to challenge the misconceptions being created about the Sikh community. We must all work together to ensure that Canada remains an open and welcoming place for people of all backgrounds and no community is unfairly maligned.

Sikh group sues CBC over documentary

The World Sikh Organization has launched a lawsuit against Canada's national broadcaster, a reporter and Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh, alleging that a CBC documentary examining the issue of Sikh extremism has damaged the community's reputation.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that the CBC documentary ``Samosa Politics" by reporter Terry Milewski, which aired June 28, likened the Sikh separatist movement to terrorism and defamed members of Canada's Sikh community.

The Sikh organization's lawyer, James Morton, said the lawsuit alleges defamation, libel and slander, and seeks $110-million in damages.

"That does not mean, of course, that there would not be a resolution prior to the trial," said Morton.

Gian Singh Sandhu of the group's Canadian chapter alleged the documentary linked the WSO to terrorism and contained "many false statements."

A description of the documentary on the CBC's website says the WSO does not advocate violence, but does accuse some of its supporters of having "praised and defended those who use violence in the separatist cause."

Sandhu said the CBC's attempt to link the WSO to violence and extremism is "dishonest and highly offensive."

Sandhu said he was "totally awed, shocked and flabbergasted" when he saw the documentary. Nor was the organization ever contacted to comment for the documentary, he added.

"They should have had the courtesy of calling."

Jeff Keay, a spokesman for CBC, said the public broadcaster is unaware of the lawsuit and is standing behind its story.

"If and when we receive a lawsuit from the WSO, we'll give it appropriate consideration," Keay said. "Beyond that, we have no further comment at this time."

Sandhu said Dosanjh was also named in the lawsuit for allegedly linking the organization to the violent history of the Sikh separatist movement during an interview featured in the CBC documentary.

"His comments link the WSO with this violent movement. Nothing could be farther from the truth," Sandhu said.

Sandhu would not specify which of Dosanjh's comments he considered defamatory.

Lisa Crawford, a spokeswoman for Dosanjh, said the Vancouver MP was not aware of the lawsuit.

"He has not received any notice of intent up to this point," said Crawford. "But he stands by the comments he made."

The World Sikh Organization, founded in 1984, represents more than 400,000 Sikhs in Canada.
