Dear

HMG INVOLVEMENT IN THE MASSACRE OF INNOCENT SIKHS IN JUNE 1984

On 2 February the Sikh Federation (UK) wrote to the Prime Minister expressing concerns about the context and terms of reference of the review by the Cabinet Secretary. The letter was widely reported upon by the mainstream media both nationally and internationally. It is most disappointing a reply has not yet been received.

Similarly, on 4 February Baroness Warsi promised in the House of Lords debate a meeting, but her office has yet to make any arrangements. Given the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary’s assurances of a dialogue with the Sikh community, this is most regrettable.

Sikh organisations have decided that, if there be no such meeting before 20 February, then they will hold a peaceful protest outside Downing Street and the Foreign Office on that date – a date chosen to coincide with the first anniversary of the Prime Minister’s historic visit to Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar.

The Sikh Federation (UK) has now written again to the Prime Minister on 12 February summarising some of the reasons and evidence which has lead the British Sikh community to conclude that the internal review has proved to be unsatisfactory, and also raised some of the questions which remain unanswered.

We believe that those questions can only be satisfactorily answered through an independent public inquiry, led by a judge. A suggested terms of reference for the inquiry has been sent to the Prime Minister. A copy of the letter sent to the Prime Minister with relevant information has been sent to you directly by the Sikh Federation (UK) and is also available by emailing sikhfederationuk@yahoo.co.uk

Of course the current UK government bears no responsibility for the tragic events of 1984. Nevertheless, this government has a continuing responsibility to address the serious questions and considerable concerns which many UK citizens continue to have.

I should be most grateful if you could let me know if you support the Sikh community’s call for a public inquiry; and, if you do not, your reasons. Also please email the Sikh Federation (UK) to indicate your support.

With thanks.

Yours sincerely,
