Dear Sir/Madam I write to express my sheer outrage at the BBC for once again ignoring Sikh issues/News/Events.
The BBC has for the last year been in the Media for ignoring issues which affect UK Sikhs,and for offending Sikhs with false reports and so on.
The latest issue is of the BBC being a respected news broadcaster of not covering in what was a virutal massacre of Sikhs in Ludhiana Panjab ,India on the 5th of December 2009.
This was headline news across India,and on all Asain TV channels along with radio stations.Sikhs had gathered to peacefully protest against an anti Sikh cult leader Ashutosh of the 'DJJS - Divya Jyoti Jagran Sansthan 'who has offended the Sikh nation time and time again.
On Saturday 5 December 2009 police and paramilitary forces opened fire to stop Sikh protesters, belonging to Sikh religious organisations, marching towards a controversial anti-Sikh two-day event organised in Ludhiana by Dera Divya Jyoti of Ashutosh.
It has been confirmed at least one Sikh has been killed and around15 seriously injured. The photograph of Darshan Singh, the 58-year old that was shot dead, is available below.

The death toll is expected to increase. Despite an indefinite curfew in the city there has been uproar across Punjab at the heavy handed action of the police and paramilitary forces. Upon seeing footage and photographs (photographs are available), reports are coming in of thousands of Sikhs preparing to travel to Ludhiana to participate in further protests.
Sikh religious organisations have called for a peaceful ‘bandh’ (closure) in Ludhiana and cases to be registered against Ashutosh and BJP MLA Harish Bedi, who is also reported to have fired shots at Sikh protesters. Meanwhile the Punjab government recognising the seriousness of the situation has ordered a magisterial probe into the incident.
Sikhs are particularly upset as what has been interpreted as double standards and deliberate provocation of Sikhs. On Thursday and Friday following a minor incident there was widespread arson and violence by migrant workers in three-quarters of Ludhiana. This was permitted without any action taken by the police. However, the protest march by Sikh religious organisations on Saturday was met with the use of tear gas, batons and then live ammunition.

We ask why with such a big Sikh Population in the UK the BBC has not covered this tragic event which has left the Sikh Nation in outrage across the World,even though the BBC has correspondents across the globe.Increasingly Sikh groups and Sikhs are viewing the BBC as an anti Sikh organisation,which has never covered any major events which affect Sikhs.While Hindu fanatics like the RSS/Indian Govt use the BBC to their advantage to make programmes like the one made on BBC Radio 4 last year to paint Sikhs as terrorists.When we the Sikhs have issues or problems they are never covered instead Sikhs are offended by the BBC time and time again eg:Show them as terrorists on BBC radio 4,Offend Sikhs by incorrect use of the Khanda saying the attacker was Sikh - what has the Sikh Symbol go to do with that?

Detailed list of blunder by all sections of the BBC
We kindly ask the BBC to please look in to the events of December 5th in Ludhiana - and ask the BBC to cover the news in a balanced manner not in bias against Sikhs as the BBC radio 4 programme did last year.
I hope the BBC take this complaint Seriously and take action ,as the Sikh Community are getting more and more disgruntled at the BBC for ignoring them,while the BBC listen what India/Indian Govt
(anti Sikh)wants.
Sikhs are marking the events in Panjab with emergency meetings up and down the UK and we ask for the BBC to do their duty as a 'fair and balanced' news broadcaster to cover the tragic events which are unfolding.
I await your kind reply
Regards
