Tytler Stopped From Coming To England

[jalandharsingh]

Nice to read that this killers liberty to travel anywhere in the world has been partially curtailed. Lets hope our brothers and sisters in USA, Canada and other parts of Europe can follow this example and put pressure on this dirty lowlife to be denied entry to their countries. If there are any people who suffered in the 84 genocide and are now USA citizens then please look at the possibility of bringing legal action against the Indian state and for their assets to be seized. Similar legal action has been enacted against Libya by US citizens.

Murderer of Sikhs stopped from entering Britain,

MP told British Foreign Sec to arrest him

Senior Congress leader Jagdish Tytler

By Sach Kanwal Singh

In a recent blog Sach Kanwal Singh wrote of how

supportive Rob Marris PM is of Sikhs, he writes:

Wolverhampton MP Rob Marris sends a clear message

that the shameless. Senior Congress leader

Jagdish Tytler, the man who exhorted and led

blood thirsty mobs in 1984 to kill and burnt

alive hundreds of Sikhs, and who has become the

face of pogrom against the Sikhs, now cannot visit the United Kingdom.

Clearly, India’s ruling Congress party, its

president Sonia Gandhi and rising Congress scion

Rahul Gandhi too will get their own share of

shame or embarrassment, depending upon their

individual sensitization and sensitivity, as a

result of the UK administration’s move. After

all, they made Tytler chairman of the volunteers’

committee of the Commonwealth Games Organizing

Committee, but just see what slap has London delivered.

But then credit must go to where it belongs for

stopping in the tracks the plans by Tytler to

masquerade as a respectable member of the world

community. Rob Marris, Member of Parliament MP

and chair of the British parliament’s All Party

Group on Sikhs, told Foreign Secretary David

Miliband in no uncertain terms, and in writing,

that Jagdish Tytler was a murderer, and that his

presence in Britain was “unacceptable.” Marris

wrote to Miliband in just the nick of time, on October 28.

Tytler had planned to visit the United Kingdom as

part of an Indian delegation for the launch of

the Commonwealth Games Baton Relay in London

earlier this month. As soon as Marris, a Labour

Party member of Parliament for Wolverhampton

South West, got wind of it, he set up an

emergency meeting with Ivan Lewis, Britain’s

Junior Foreign Office Minister responsible for

India and briefed him about Tytler’s past.

Robert Howard Marris is known for his meticulous

work, is a graduate with first class honours in

History and Sociology from the University of

British Columbia, was the receipient of the

coveted “Backbencher of the Year” award because

of his ability to study a problem in depth before

coming up with his own carefully analysed

conclusions, and was recently seen as a sort of a

“saint” when British politicians were hit by the

May 2009 political scandal of MPs expenses disclosures.

No wonder, Marris had done his homework very

well. So, not only did he tell the British

government that Tytler’s presence was

“unacceptable” but even pressed that should this

man enter Britain and sets foot on its soil,

Scotland Yard must not lose a minute in arresting

him and sending him up for trial for murders of hundreds of people in India.

Eager to save his skin, and with prospects of a

real arrest and real justice staring him in the

eye, Tytler scrapped all plans to be part of the

London ceremony, and called off his visit. In the

bargain, Marris seems to have saved even the

Queen some embarrassing moments where a mass

killer couldpossibly have come face to face with

the monarch and basked in reflected glory.

In his letter to Miliband, Marris described

Tytler, a former Indian federal minister in the

Manmohan Singh government who was forced to quit

after a government-appointed commission of

inquiry confirmed his shameful role on massacres,

as “a controversial former politician from India,

who is alleged to have been deeply involved in

the November 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms in India, in

the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi”.

It is significant that Marris, thanks to his

better understanding of the issue than even the

Indian media, preferred to use the term “pogrom” over riots.

MP Rob Marris had done his homework well. Not

only did he tell the British government that

Jagdish Tytler’s presence was “unacceptable” but

even pressed that should this man set foot on

British soil, Scotland Yard must not lose a

minute in arresting him and sending him up for

trial for murder of hundreds of people in India

“Many survivors of those harrowing events are now

living in the UK; as are the relatives of many

victims. It would be unacceptable for someone who

had committed such acts to be admitted to the UK,

even to visit,” said the MP, whose constituents

in west-central England include many from the Sikh community.

At a meeting with Sikh groups later, that was

organised by the All-party Parliamentary Human

Rights Group and was addressed by its chair Ann

Clwyd, fellow-MP John McDonnell, Indian

journalist and author of an acclaimed book on the

pogrom Manoj Mitta, and Bikramjit Singh Batra of

the human rights group Amnesty International,

among others, Marris said, “You can’t just go to

the (London) Metropolitan police and say -- as we

tried last week -- that `Jagdish Tytler is coming

to Britain and we want you to investigate him, imprison him’.”

His approach should be a lesson to Sikh groups

who have passionately worked for bringing justice

to the victims of 1984 pogrom but who sometimes

lack in thoroughness as far as paperwork,

understanding of the laws and the working of the

human rights domain is concerned.

“You have to present them with a sufficient

cut-and-dry dossier. We only need two or three of

the ringleaders -- not hundreds of them -- so

that if they set foot in Britain, they get

arrested and they get charged,” Marris said. To

this, MP John McDonnell added, “Last week’s

exercise of barring Jagdish Tytler from coming here was useful.”

In Rob Marris own words: “(Jagdish Tytler is)

a controversial former politician from India, who

is alleged to have been deeply involved in the

November 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms in India…Many

survivors of those harrowing events are now

living in the UK; as are the relatives of many

victims. It would be unacceptable for someone who

had committed such acts to be admitted to the UK, even to visit.”

Now, Indian apologists in the High Commission in

London are scurrying around to claim that

Tytler’s visit to Britain for the launch of the

Commonwealth Games baton relay in London was not

confirmed but they have nothing to say when asked

why would a line up of British MPs with no known

anti-India stance spin a bundle of lies publicly.

Clearly, the efforts of Rob Marris and others

have hurt where a well-packed punch was in

express need of being delivered, and they have

delivered it well to loud applause of not just

the Sikh community but also of all right thinking

and justice loving people of India, Britain and indeed throughout the world.

Indian Government’s own Justice Nanavati

Commission, whose findings were of course found

by the Sikhs as a collective as far less scathing

than what was more widely known, said in its

report submitted in Aug 2005 that there was

evidence against Congress leaders Tytler, Sajjan

Kumar and H.K.L. Bhagat for instigating mobs to attack and kill Sikhs.
