Lord Indarjit Singh

[Premi5]

Today programme presenter has expressed his regret over Sikh peer’s decision to quit Thought For The Day over 'thought police' row. 

Lord Singh announced he was quitting Thought for the Day after 35 years to protest the BBC trying to prevent him from broadcasting an item commemorating an executed Sikh Guru for fear that it “might offend Muslims".

The script, which was broadcast last November, did not criticise Islam and did not recieve any complaints for discussing the Sikh guru, who had spoken out about Hindus being forced to convert to Islam under the 17th century Mughal emperors of India.

Speaking on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 yesterday morning, presenter Justin Webb called the news of Indarjit Singh’s departure “rather sad”. 

Indarjit Singh has accused the BBC of “prejudice and intolerance”.  

"It was like saying to a christian that he or she should not talk about Easter for fear of giving offence to the Jews," he told the Times. 

Lord Singh made an official complaint about the incident, saying it was not the first time he had been prevented from discussing subjects important to Sikhs. 

James Purnell, the corporation's director of radio, ordered a review, which rejected the complaint.

This is the BBC after all. 

It is time that the BBC licence fee is gotten rid off.

Says it all.

If SIkhs mention the truth about their history, establishment honkies get upset. 

And these are the id10ts so many Sikhs fought for in the past......

And goray here in the UK want to destroy Sikhi too, and put an anglicised hor5eshyte version in its place, one that subtly and deviously encourages sycophancy from our lot towards them.  They've been at it for a long while now. 

Christianity is dead in england, and has been for a long while. The focus is on us now, especially since apnay have objected to the culture of just quietly condoning pedophilia and grooming, as is a norm in english culture.

These guys telling Lard Indarjit to shut up about Sikh history is just one part of the attack.

Sikhs are definitely seen as a threat in the UK. Maybe not the inactive, puppoo, office boy types - but other active ones are.
