Quick reminder that you can praise Sikhs for feeding people WITHOUT:
a) Undermining BLM
b) Condemning very valid forms of protest & activism
c) Pushing the "model minority" narrative
d) Slating other ethnic minorities
If you can't do that, we don't want your back-handed praise.
Any sane nation would have the law that if you protest for another country’s issues there, you go to jail. Better yet, get deported to that country which you purport to care about so much.
“At around 04:00, it was time for Nitnem and Maharaj gave me that Seva, sitting on the top of the dead bodies I read Nitnem to whoever was still breathing and just accepted this as the will of Guru Sahib. I won’t ever forget that Nitnem.” Bhai Nirmalbir Singh Ji #NeverForget1984

BREAKING | "US authorities thwarted a conspiracy to assassinate a Sikh separatist on American soil & issued a warning to India’s government over concerns it was involved in the plot," Financial Times reports.
The target was SFJ's Gurpatwant Pannun.
Aside from a diplomatic warning, FT reports that The "US federal prosecutors have filed a sealed indictment against at least one alleged perpetrator of the plot in a New York district court, according to people familiar with the case."
FT goes on to state that "The US justice department is debating whether to unseal the indictment and make the allegations public or wait until Canada finishes its investigation into Nijjar’s murder. Further complicating the case, one person charged in the indictment is believed to have left the US, according to people familiar with the proceedings."
@PhilipDeslippe@navrupkaur@JazzTheJourno@navrupkaur the courts don't find you innocent - they find you not guilty (i.e. not enough evidence to prove guilt).
Evidence of sexual assault is rarely strong enough to "prove it" in court.
So even if he's found not guilty, that doesn't mean he's innocent. Keep that in mind.
To put it bluntly, the UK Prime Minister will not criticize India, even if he had knowledge and evidence of India killing a Sikh on UK soil. Why?
1. Maintain diplomatic relations
2. Avoid losing trade deals
3. Protect national interests
In short politics, economics and nationalism trump human rights. They value their position of power more than life itself.
I’m not going anywhere, but I will say this. As someone whose Twitter account has been twice banned in India this year by a legal demand of the Indian government, whose work impacted the acting US ambassador to India and several Modi/RSS-friendly US politicians, who’s had perhaps dozens of propaganda articles written against him (including a 100-page “dossier” that feels like it was from RAW, India’s external intelligence agency), who’s had Delhi Police state that I’ve been “on the radar of Indian intelligence” for nearly 20 years, and who generally seeks to be a thorn in the side of the Modi regime and its international support base, I do watch my back. Trudeau’s statement on the apparent assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil by the Modi regime should alert every democratic government outside India that it’s not safe even for their own citizens to be critics of Modi.
Modi is the risen Hitler in the East and he’s extending his oppressive reach now beyond even the borders of India.
BREAKING NEWS: WSO CONDEMNS THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA’S INVOLVEMENT IN THE KILLING OF CANADIAN SIKHS ON CANADIAN SOIL

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed what Canadian Sikhs have known for months- that credible evidence exists to substantiate that agents of the Government of India were involved in the targeted killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.

File a complaint and report them here @Ofcom and on @YouTube
both @GBNEWS and @WasiqUK be sure to include their deliberate disinformation, discrimination and fear mongering. The #SikhSeparatists movement holding a #Referendum for an independent #Khalistan state is legal under international law and its #India with its fascist ruler #Modi who’s has inappropriately made holding a #Referendum illegal.
And check out @WasiqUK header he supports right wing fascism hell bent on occupying and destroying Indigenous minorities notably the #Palestinians and the #Sikhs so far, probably others also
We will be in touch demanding the right to respond to this entirely fabricated scaremongering about Sikhs in the UK. This is completely bigoted anti-Sikh propaganda disguised as "news".
We welcome @WasiqUK for an open public discussion on his claims about Khalistan. Get in touch
@GBNEWS This segment makes completely fabricated links between a random conflict in the Midlands and the global Khalistan movement for a free Sikh homeland.
We are taking this issue up with @Ofcom and will also be pressing for the right to respond.
The tensions in Derby had nothing to do with the Khalistan linked movement as Wasiq suggests. The violence was between two rival Punjabi gangs. It is imperative to fact check these situations before labelling and defaming an entire Sikh community. Equating this or even suggesting this as terrorism is totally false and very dangerous. There is no evidence of this from the situation that occurred.
This is the former CEO of Twitter telling us what many of us already knew and experienced during the farmers protests.
This is what Modi meant when he said he 'didnt know how to handle the media'...he has learnt now...
India is ranked 161 out of 180 in the Press Freedom Index
Big Breaking : Jack Dorsey (Former Twitter CEO) makes huge allegations on Modi Gov.
Jack Dorsey says. Modi's gov pressurised twitter to block accounts covering farmer's protests and being critical of the government and threatend to raid and arrest Twitter India employees. Shame
