LONDON, UK—Further top secret information has emerged about Margaret Thatcher’s averse and hostile attitude towards Sikhs; twelve months after initial disclosures of the British Prime Minister’s active collusion with the Indian government, in giving ‘advice’ and full moral support for the Indian government’s military genocide on Sikhs in 1984.
Latest media reports have revealed that, during talks held between the Prime Minister of Ireland and Margaret Thatcher in November 1984, the latter made direct cynical reference to Sikhs. During the course of a 2-hour meeting with the Irish PM, centring on the Irish government’s demand for security and safety of Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland; Margaret Thatcher retorted back with ‘Were the Sikhs in Southall to be allowed to fly their own flag?’
This was Thatcher’s negative dismissal of Irish Catholics seeking rights and safeguards in Northern Ireland, and cynically equating them with the “Were the Sikhs in Southall to be allowed to fly their own flag?”
Campaigners from Kesri Lehar and the 1984 Genocide Coalition say such comments reveal the pattern of hostility and antagonism held by Margaret Thatcher towards the Sikhs. “The emergence at this moment of these latest top secret disclosures, serves to re-inforce the potently incriminating information arising from the initial disclosures we made in January 2014.”
On 12 January 2014, activists from the above two groups, widely published key top secret documents about the British and Indian government collaboration in the June 1984 genocidal military onslaught on Panjaab.
Campaigners says, 30 years since the gruesome genocide against the Sikhs in Panjaab and across India, and a sustained violent genocidal war on the Sikh population, with over 100,000 dead; the current and preceding British government have entirely sided with the Indian government. They have sought to maintain a ‘special relationship’ with India as a regional superpower, keen to sell military hardware to India and sustained cosy relations to further commercial trade. India is currently the world’s biggest global arms purchaser, despite the open, public fact that Indian government schools do not have toilets and over 1/3 of its 1.5 billion population live in starvation.
Campaigners say that British Governments and their crooked foreign policies have caused devastation to Sikhs in 1849, in 1947, in 1984 and still continue to do so now.
Both Labour and Tory governments over the last 30-years, have avidly stood shoulder to shoulder with the Indian government despite its gruesome record of genocide, torture, police killings, mass corruption and state terrorism on peoples in Kashmir, Panjaab, Gujaraat, Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and Muslims and Dalits across the gigantic Indian super-state. India has failed its 2013 UN Human Rights Test. According to the European Union sponsored South Asia Centre for Human Rights (New Dheli), four civilians die each day in Indian police cells due to torture.
That explains why Britiain has done nothing to support Sikhs over the years eventhough they were happy to recruit us to fight their wars and keep our heritage on their display
Let’s see UK response t o current political prisoner release equality campaign n the Indian home ministers genocide directive…voting tactic
Vahiguroo,
Hanjee British are to this day, shoulder to shoulder with Indian government, thus, biggest Sikh traitor brar, who led storming of Operation Bluestar, visited UK, not quite recently…but Guru Pyareo, entire world thinking is same as British, thus all silent over repeated atrocities against Sikh kaum Jio.
Such a reputation is due to our own pakhandi sikh kaum, who metha tek to Gurbani, but have no fear to utter beadbi in leading storming of where our King Gurbani abode is, or eliminating our King’s Soormey Sant Sipahi.
Jhoot world reputation of Sikhs is we undermine the Indian government good governing…
Salok Mahla 9 reminds us only Vahiguroo is Sach….all else will turn back to dust…so why waste our jeev on jhoot any longer…enough Gem Shaheeds have sacrificed for Dharam…just focus on bhagti, and live as Sukhmani Sahib Jio advice,”janam maran toh derai tah…”
