London (July 25, 2012): As per media
reports there have been protests from the British Sikh community
following news that Indian politician Jagdish Tytler may be permitted to
visit the country for the Olympic Games.
The Sikh Federation (UK) says the Government is refusing to confirm if he will be allowed into the country despite opposition.
“A campaign was launched with Sikhs
writing thousands of letters to UK MPs to stop Tytler leading the Indian
delegation. It appears he has been dropped as leading the delegation,
but there is still concern that he will be visiting the country for the
games, despite requests to the Government for reassurance that he will
be prevented from entering the UK” reports the AsianImage.
Amrik Singh, the Chair of the Sikh
Federation (UK), is quoted to have said: “The Sikh community is deeply
opposed to Tytler because of his direct involvement in the anti-Sikh
pogroms of November 1984 when innocent Sikhs were killed in their
thousands – often burnt alive – in around 130 cities across northern
India, most notably in Delhi”.
“What is unclear is if Tytler will join a
later group for the start of the Olympics. British Sikhs have been
disappointed that the UK Government has been unable to confirm whether
or not Tytler will be allowed to enter the UK – despite pressure from
shadow Labour foreign office ministers”, he is reported to have added.
“If the Government does not stop this
happening, Sikhs will then be forced to organise a peaceful protest, but
as the strength of opposition is so great protesters may run into
several thousand. This would be most regrettable given the positive
image of the London Olympics 2012 that we all wish to portray and the
support the Sikh community and the Sikh Federation (UK) specifically
gave for securing the Olympics in London,” Bhai Amrik Singh added.
The Sikh Federation (UK) is planning
through its human rights wing called Khalsa Human Rights to gather
specific evidence from victims in the UK to provide to the UK
authorities, including the police, to prevent entry to the country or
possible arrest and prosecution on arrival of Indian politicians and
former police officers involved in human rights abuses.
The Sikh Federation (UK) is also opposed to the potential entry to the country of KPS Gill.
