Dear @TalkTV this individual ‘Harman Kapoor’ is a dress up Sikh and does not represent the community in any capacity! He is not even a Sikh but is a foreign actor and agent provocateur stirring up trouble on all sides! Pls be aware. #AntiSikh
"Tragic...senseless"
"He brought the Sikh faith into disrepute...those actions do not reflect the community"
"There is no special treatment for Sikhs...this stiff sentence sends a warning"
A statement from community figures Kam Singh and Jas Singh on the Nowak murder case.
Jas Singh, representing the Sikh Federation (UK) @SikhFedUK speaking at a press conference at Guru Nanak Gurdwara, Smethwick @GNGSmethwick following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa for 21 years for the murder of Henry Novak.
The Sikh community has unequivocally condemned in the strongest terms Vickrum Digwa for not only the murder of Henry Novak for which he is solely responsible, but also the lies he has told.
He made the wrong choice, should have pleaded guilty and must now serve his lengthy prison sentence.
Sikhs in West Brom, Sandwell and beyond have done so much to help build our country over the last 70 years.
Now they are being thrown under the bus by Reform, Restore and the far right. Disgusting.
We won't stand for this latest attack on our friends and neighbours. ❤️

The Kirpan is a sacred article of faith carried responsibly by Sikhs for centuries. Attacking religious freedoms to chase headlines is not leadership it is ignorance wrapped in division politics.
