Sikh Council UK | ਸਿੱਖ ਕੌਂਸਲ ਯੂ.ਕੇ | सिख कौंसिल यू

📢 SIKH COUNCIL UK has released updated guidance on Anand Karaj, reaffirming it is for two Sikhs who accept the faith. The leaflet supports Gurdwaras in upholding Sikh principles. #Sikhs #AnandKaraj #SikhWedding

FBI latest figures show disproportionate rise in anti-Sikh hate. There’s clearly been an increase in anti-Sikh rhetoric fuelled by segments of media narratives and social media accounts pushing distorted, harmful portrayals. This kind of amplification has real world consequences.

If Trump follows through with his wilder and increasingly concerning threats, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world.

🧵1/ In Sikh tradition, Shaheedi is a commitment to truth so absolute that even death cannot silence it. It is a moral testimony. Bhai Avtar Singh Khanda is widely understood by many Sikhs through this lens someone who accepted personal danger as the cost of political conviction.

Representatives of @SikhFedUK @SikhFedCanada as part of @SikhFedIntl promoting the Khalistan freedom movement at an international conference on violence against Sikhs in India held in Baku, Azerbaijan. The conference was excellently organised by a well-respected NGO, the Baku Initiative Group @bakuinitiative with massive national media coverage. Watch the space for more information.

International Conference “Racism and Violence Against Sikhs and Other Minorities in India: The Reality on the Ground” has kicked off. A one-minute moment of silence marked the opening of the conference, honoring the memory of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar assassinated in Canada in 2023, and other members of the Khalistan movement who lost their lives.

An historic geopolitical allyship building event was held between @SikhFedIntl and @bakuinitiative last weekend, culminating in the release of an informational booklet on the Khalistan free Sikh homeland movement by the Azerbaijanian "international cooperation" NGO. The Baku...

...conference saw respected Sikh community figures from the UK and Canada speak with representatives of the BIG group, which is known for hosting various global advocacy groups. As noted in the SFI press release attached, Azerbaijan also has geographical ties to Punjab and Sikhi.

It's now been over 3,000 days since Jagtar Singh Johal was arbitrarily detained in India on trumped-up charges. In these 3,000 days he has been tortured, threatened to be burnt alive and placed into solitary confinement. The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has already determined that his arrest and imprisonment is unlawful. The UK Govt must keep pushing to bring this British citizen back home. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Today marks 3000 days since a British citizen was arbitrarily detained in India. For over 8 years, Jagtar Singh Johal has been held without a fair trial, despite serious concerns raised by the UN about his detention and allegations of torture. #FreeJaggiNow @FreeJaggiNow

BREAKING | The Bishnoi Gang, a designated terrorist entity, has been “acting on behalf of the Indian govt,” according to an RCMP document obtained by Global News. This comes as @HCI_Ottawa continues to deny Indian transnational repression in Canada, including yesterday on the CBC. Carney's Ministers @AnitaAnandMP and @MSidhuLiberal have been actively working to normalize ties with India as the Modi government continues to engage in state sponsored terrorism in Canada, including orchestrating extortions, homicides, assassinations and other criminal activity targeting the Sikh Canadian community.

Ever wondered why Punjabi isn’t offered on Duolingo? So have I! Punjabi the second most spoken language in Sandwell and I recently met Duolingo and urged them to add Punjabi to their language offer. What do you think? Comment below ⬇️

Good to see a Sikh community representative, @Dabinderjit Lead Executive at @SikhFedUK invited on @SkyNews this morning to review today’s papers with @LeahBoleto and give views on a range of issues making the headlines. #Erasmus #eu #Students @guardian @PippaCrerar @NickTorfaen #bbc #trump #defamation #lawsuit #bbccharter @thetimes @lisanandy #PaulDoyle #hero #danielbarr #bondibeach #liverpoolparade @ShabanaMahmood #chocolate #Christmas @wesstreeting

Have you written to your MP to put pressure on @Keir_Starmer and @YvetteCooperMP about the longest arbitrarily detained British citizen. Spare 1-minute to write to your MP using the link below: campaigns.sikhfeduk.com/campaigns/secu… Hundreds have written to over 170 different MPs in the last few weeks about the Brit who has been in arbitrary detention in an Indian jail for over 8 years. We are surprised by the number of MPs that are simply accepting the standard response from @FCDOGovUK that they “raise his case” and right back to constituents on this basis. The PM and Foreign Secretary need to show leadership and have the courage to come clean about what they are doing to secure the release and return of British national, Jagtar Singh Johal. If India @PMOIndia @narendramodi is privately telling them to get lost MPs, @UKParliament and the British public have the right to know. #Sikh #KeirStarmer #ForeignPolicy #india #PoliticsLive #politics #HumanRightsDay Thank you @aliciakearns @BrendanOHaraMP @HostageAPPG @AppgBritSikhs @Labour_Douglas for leading the challenge express.co.uk/news/uk/214536…

The life of Jagtar Singh Johal who has been arbitrarily detained in India for more than 8 years is ‘at risk’, a group of senior parliamentarians have warned the Foreign Secretary. 🔗thenational.scot/news/25691709.… #FreeJaggiNow
