“When the Modi government of India’s BJP-RSS is continuously targeting freedom-seeking Punjabis and Sikhs in India and abroad, and a cycle of oppression and atrocities is going on every day, then the Punjabis and Sikhs have gone to countries like Britain for a long time to protect their precious lives and the British government is going to take the painful step of forcibly deporting them and sending them back to India, this will be an inhuman act that will pave the way for them to become victims of the conspiracies of the Indian rulers by sending them back. Because they have gone here to protect their lives and by sending them back to the British government, they will be creating conditions for them to face the oppression of the Indian rulers, which cannot be justified under international and human rights laws. Therefore, keeping in mind the human values of our Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), it is an appeal that the inhumane act of sending Punjabis and Sikhs living in Britain back to India should not be done at all.”
This appeal was made by S. Simranjit Singh Mann, President of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), while making a serious appeal to the Prime Minister of Britain, Mr. Keir Starmer, and appealing to the lives of Punjabis and Sikhs who have reached Britain without human rights and without the great danger created in India and Punjab. He said that the British government and the entire world are aware that in 1947, Punjab was also divided into two parts. In 1984, the rulers carried out genocide and massacre of Sikhs throughout the country in a conspiratorial manner. During which a large number of Punjabis and Sikhs lost their precious lives. Even now, the inhumane acts of targeting Punjabi and Sikh India by the BJP-RSS government are being committed. Under which, the Sikh citizen of Britain, S. Avtar Singh Khanda, has been poisoned and killed by Indian agencies. Similarly, Sikhs have been targeted in Canada and Pakistan. The Punjabi and Sikhs who have gone to Britain have become victims of the brutality of the Indian rulers. By forcibly sending them back, the British government would in reality be violating the rules and principles of international human rights. Which can tarnish the image of a democratic country like Britain on the global stage, therefore it would be better that steps should be taken to protect the lives of Punjabis and Sikhs living in Britain, even if they have been forcibly moved there in some form, and not to send them back to face the brutal oppression of the Indian rulers.
