Sex Attacker On Royal Barge During Jubilee Pageant

[Pyara]

The title of this thread is rather a bit dramatic! I have an image in my mind of some guy wearing scuba gear and with a machete in his mouth, stealthily tracking the Queen's barge, and then bursting onto the boat shouting "I'M A SEX OFFENDER!!!".

Apologies for that, I was just regurgitating the Daily Mail headline in todays news. The Daily Mirror ran the story on the front page with a spread on page 4. That headline was even more sinister...

No apologies needed. The Daily Mail headline suggests the Queen was in immediate danger.

The issue of Ranas conviction and projecting himself as a representative of the Sikh quom was raised in 2002.

He should have accepted a non media facing role if sewa was his true goal. He appears to enjoy the media attention and being photographed with Royalty.

Sajjan Thag embraced Guru Ji and accepted what he had done in the past was wrong. For years Rana has been telling people it was a case of mistaken identity rather than accepting what he did was wrong.

probably the Sikh Secretariat who grassed on him.

Some posters have been saying how its been so many years and he has atoned for his wrongdoings, im afraid in an ideal world yes, but there are crimes and there are crimes, and violence/sexual assaults against women/children will always have a stigma even after death, as opposed to someone who robbed a bank, murdered someone in a fight etc, as these are seen as macho crimes, gloryfying outlaws etc.

whereas rapists etc will always be seen as deviant offenders, and you know that in prison the worst thing is for other inmates to find out that you are a rapist, its just as bad as being accused of grassing. When the offender gets into the outside world there is no let up of what he has done.

It is always best for people who have committed this type of crime to remain hidden from public, no matter how much they have changed.

^^^^they get called " nonce case" and "sex case" other inmates (none sex offenders and pedos) try to get at them putting glass in thier food is one way, as all types of inmates work in the kitchen. If you ask me pedoes and sex cases get everything they diserve.

Can be forgiven but not head of community. We need some internal vetting. Do you think someone with such a history would become USA president? No because his community would object.

What's wrong with us. Yes we can forgive his past mistakes but why we saying this man is out best/role model/ represents what we are all like. There are a million possible candidates

I remember when Rana got convicted and sentenced. I dont know the man but have seen him around in Walsall, neither am I going to judge him, the question I would like to ask all you sympathisers is that if the people he abused and attacked were members of your family, would you be still have the same views. He has spent his conviction and has probably put it behind him....have the victims of his attacks ? Sexual attacks scar victims for life.........

Please understand that criminals can be reformed by the Grace of God.

Yes they can and that's not the issue.

The issue is that Rana was content in projecting himself in a high profile representative role within the mainstream and the Sikh community. This is not an isolated incident, we have some Gurdwara pardaans with baggage and some who are still known for their immoral activities. All this does is put a on a façade and encourage hypocrisy, further pushing those away who feel the Sikh institutes are all full of corruption, But we don't have any collective influence in influencing who puts themselves forward as a representative of the Sikh Community. This just shows us as a collective Sikh community we lack a real relationship with the elite or influential in British Society, it can be too easily hijacked by individuals with their own agendas.
