Indian Lt-Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar Attackers Jailed

[Shaastar]

As a non-Sikh observer I am always intrigued by the views on this forum.

Do contributors really believe that Cameron can influence judges ? Do you really believe that the English legal system is corrupt ?

Or is it that the 4 convicts are actually terrorists who attempted assasination on the streets of London.

I suppose the next call will be for Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa to include them in his campaign and for there to be a candlelight protest outside Westminster.

Whats it matter if your Sikh Christian Hindu Muslim? The facts are crystal clear.

3 of 5 English Killers implicated in the 1992 Racist Murder of an Affro carribean boy Stephen Lawrence are yet to be bought to Justice!!

The Racist Killing of Black Schoolboy Rolan Adams by ENglish racist Thugs results in a 2 year sentance!! 2 Years for ending the life of a 15 year old??

The Killers of Indian Rohit Duggal are not bought to book. Indian Satpal Ram was jailed 15 years for defending his own life. Justice? Whats it matter if its English justicce american justice or indian Justice. The Rulebook has to be applied fairly no matter what colour Race Religion someone is.

Mahatma Ghandi had supported Racial Apartheid in South Africa and wrote letters sympathising with Hitlers Secretary. Was he a "Terrorist sympathiser" for South African Natives and jewish Diaspora in Germany? But a Saviour for Upper Class Hindus? or does the definition of terrorist always stay the same?

A 100,000-signature petition has been handed to government by campaigners trying to quash 40-year-old convictions against 24 pickets.

The Shrewsbury 24 document was handed in to 10 Downing Street by union leaders and Royle Family actor Ricky Tomlinson - one of the 24.

The group was accused of intimidating workers and violent picketing in Telford, Shropshire, in 1972.

They want documents relating to the case to be released.

Steve Murphy, general secretary of construction union Ucatt, said the petition was "outstanding".

"It demonstrates the determination of the pickets to win justice and also the public's support for their cause," he said.

"Parliament now has a moral duty to debate the case and the government must come clean and publish all the papers relating to the pickets' case."

The pickets were arrested five months after the 1972 building workers' strike and charged under the 1875 Conspiracy Act.

Six were sent to prison, including Mr Tomlinson.

Eileen Turnbull, the campaign group's researcher, said: "We are delighted with the progress we are making and we are convinced that the unjust convictions will be overturned."

Rail Maritime and Transport union leader Bob Crow said: "It is clear that there was a conspiracy at the highest level in 1972 to blacklist and fit up trade union activists and it is time for all the papers to be released and for those that were wrongly imprisoned to be given justice at last.

What those 4 Sikhs did was what every Sikh out there would have done if Brar was in front of them. The man is a war criminal who is responsible for thousands of deaths(including of babies!). What makes him worse is that he was one of us(Sikh), yet he committed such an atrocity on his own people. Their punishment is overly harsh, and it's hard to believe it did not have political considerations. The UK like many western countries knows India is a growing economy and everyone want a piece of it.

Of course they do, lets not forget the british are just as devious as the congress/ hindu governments and the mughals/ muslims were/are, we bare no enmity to any religion, but history should have taught the sikhs by now that we dont have many if any political friends either.

The atrocities committed by the british during their rule in india are second to none.

That is why we should not have fallen for this political lie that sikhs and hindus are brothers in 1947, the only brothers are the ones who stand with the truth and against tyranny.

We always seem to underplay the treachery of the (hindu) hill rajas and gangu brahman and chandu and the british at jallian wala bagh etc and seem to emphasize on the mughals who were evil but so were the others !!

And the anglosikh infatuation

Britain was built on exploitation of the commonwealth countries

What a joke! You get that sentence for murder not for wounding! Obviously Cameron has told the judge that they need to please India in order to get the next defence contract.

going equipped to kill, or pre-meditated murder is as serious as murder under the UK laws.

Killing Lieutenant-General Kuldeep would not give Sikhs justice as it would only make things worse; it would be a massive backward step for us.

This case is no different from Bhai Jinda and Sukha's case. They succeeded in their mission to kill General Vaidya, and most Sikhs think what they did was right. Vaidya was given divine justice on earth. Brar escaped here, but won't in the next world.

There was no other seemingly viable alternative to bring brar to justice.

The same concept applies to Bhai Sukha Singh and Mehtab Singh beheading Massa Rangar for his desecration of Sri Harimandar Sahib. There's plenty of examples from Sikh history where some of our most celebrated personalities and shaheeds delivered justice where the law failed them.

A Sikh man has received a 10 year jail sentence after being convicted of slashing a former Indian military lieutenant general in the neck while he was on holiday in London.

Lieutenant General Kuldeep Singh Brar, 78, who was involved in a military operation against Sikh militants in Amritsar in 1984 that left around 1,000 people dead, was attacked by a gang of four during a visit to London in 2012.

He was walking with his wife on Old Quebec Street near Marble Arch when he was ambushed on September 30 last year.

Lakhbir Singh, 26, was the latest man to be sentenced for the attack and was handed 10 years in prison for grievous bodily harm with intent at Southwark Crown Court today.

The defendant, along with a group of men who have already been convicted for their part in the attack, is believed to have deliberately set out to attack Mr Brar in retaliation for events that occurred in India during his military career.

Three Sikh men and a woman were jailed for their part in the attack in December last year.

Mandeep Singh Sandhu, 35, of Great Barr, Birmingham, and Dilbag Singh, 37, of no fixed abode, were sentenced to 14 years in prison while Harjit Kaur, 39, of Hayes, Middlesex, was jailed for 11 years. Another man - Barjinder Singh Sangha, 34, of Wolverhampton, had previously pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and was sentenced to 10 and a half years.

They were all found guilty of wounding with intent following a trial at Southwark Crown Court in July last year after a jury took just an hour to convict them.

Having become aware of Mr Brar's presence in the UK, the group travelled to London on September 28 and 29 and carried out reconnaissance of the area where he was staying.

On September 30, Harjit Kaur followed the Brars around London and provided the group of men with regular updates on their mobile phones about the couple's movements and locations.

This enabled Lakhbir Singh and the group to intercept and assault the Brars as they were walking along Old Quebec Street, W1, towards their hotel following an evening out.

As the couple passed the group, Sangha grabbed Mr Brar's wife, 68-year-old Meena and held her by the throat against a wall, while the others attacked Mr Brar.

Sangha then joined the others in attacking Mr Brar, who was fighting back in self-defence. Sangha drew a knife and slashed at Mr Brar's neck.

At this point the assailants fled on foot towards Oxford Street, leaving Mr Brar lying on the ground seriously injured.

Police and paramedics attended the scene and Mr Brar was taken to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where he received treatment for a deep cut across his throat that ran from just below his left ear and finished below, and to the right of his adam's apple and a second deep cut that ran approximately two to three inches from his left ear across his cheek.

Lakhbir Singh handed himself into a local police station in Ascoli, Italy and was arrested on Wednesday February 19, 2014 by Italian authorities in connection with the attack.

Commander Duncan Ball, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command said: "The conviction of Lakhbir Singh now means that all those directly involved in the attempt to assassinate General Brar have been brought to justice.

"We are pleased that today's sentencing reflects the seriousness of this pre-planned and organised attack."

During the investigation a total of 15 people - 13 men and two women - were arrested at locations in London and the West Midlands.

Lt Gen Brar had been in the Indian Army for 40 years rising to the rank of lieutenant general and is well-known for his role in Operation Blue Star, which involved attacking the Golden Temple which is sacred to Sikhs.

Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi and the chief of the Indian army general Arun Vaidya were among several people assassinated in the aftermath of the operation.

In February, an investigation by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood found there was "absolutely no evidence" of UK government involvement in the raid on the Golden Temple complex 30 years ago.

Somebody should finish off the job these Singh's started and we should demand the release of these Singh's. There's no point in talking about being good law abiding citizens when this very law is not serving Sikh interests.
