TV Station Alleges Trustees Were Not Aware of The Show Nor Advertised It

London, England (January 20, 2012)–Sangat TV, famed for its broadcasting during the UK Riots in various parts of London, is now facing backlash from Sikh Sangat for cancelling a program which was supposed to be aired tonight. The program was meant to bring to light the story of a Sikh family whose daughter had converted to Islam after being seduced. Sangat TV on the other hand is denying this and alleging its trustees were not aware of the show and it was never advertized to take place.

The originally scheduled interview highlighted how the conversion disrupted the happy Sikh family and left it shattered. The program was well advertised online and was being awaited by Sikh masses living throughout the world and had their eyes on Sangat TV. It has been learned that Sangat TV has faced enormous pressures from third parties due to which it ended up cancelling the program temporarily.

The Sikh couple whose daughter, aged 13 at the time of conversion, highlighted in the interview the sophisticated methods used for entrapment and spoke of their daughter’s grooming along with the failings of the Police and authorities. It has been learned that the interview was conducted at least 3-4 weeks before it was to be aired. It was with extreme courage and bravery that the British Sikh Couple had decided to talk about such sensitive matters that could be life threatening to them.

The story of the Sikh couple that had their daughter seduced and forced to convert is definitely sad, however it’s not a unique story. Many cases of forced conversions have taken place in the UK, but due to many reasons, they are not discussed openly. Had this interview aired as scheduled, it would have brought much needed attention to the issue at hand.

A source close to SangatTV stated: “The Police strongly advised them not to show the [programme] today fearing increase in community tensions. A Muslim community rep today contacted the Sikh community to ask the show is not shown for sake of community cohesion. Sangat TV support the issues being raised by SAS however trustees were not aware of the recorded show nor advertised it. They need to make sure it is presented in a suitable way which does not create legal implications for the station. The two main trustees are abroad and back next week. Next week the trustees will view [the] show and if happy that it is presented in a way which doesn’t cause the channel or the community problems they are happy to put it on.

Despatches, Panorama and other mainstream TV documentaries have covered exploitation and grooming of children by men of Pakistani Muslim origin. These documentaries have been informative and blunt about the issue. Ch4 and BBC have had no issues mentioning the ethnic origin of the perpetrators

Excuses used by Sangat TV such as "seeking legal advice, police intervention, best interests for community cohesion" etc is just bull...

Seriously?!? So a girl is groomed by a Pakistani Muslim, who seem to have a predilection for this sort of behaviour and yet we're told not to make mention of it for the sake of "community cohesion"??? So we should just brush it under the carpet then?? Effing ridiculous!!

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
