LONDON: Last Sunday, on December 23, the quarterly meeting of Sikh
Federation (UK) branches from across the country took place under
the leadership of the organisation - Bhai Amrik Singh, Bhai Kuldip
Singh Chaheru and Bhai Narinderjit Singh. The gathering warned those
associated with Simranjit Singh Mann to refrain from verbal attacks
on the Khalsa Action Committee and the new Panj Pardhani system of
SAD (Amritsar) besides announcing that it will be holding a program
in Germany, Frankfurt in the new year to reveal the structure for
those with whom it will be working with across Europe in organizing
the World Sikh Lobby & Summit at the United Nations in Geneva from
14-16 March, the Sikh Freedom Lobby in the European Parliament in
Brussels on 7 May and the annual remembrance event in Ypres, Belgium
on 11 November.
The meeting also decided that it will be sending up to five
representatives to the next World Sikh Summit in New York from 2-4
February and would be urging contacts from different countries in
mainland Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia to join Sikhs
from the USA and Canada who are expected to take part in large
numbers.
It also welcomed the recent motion in the UK Parliament by MPs
urging the UK Government to call for the immediate release of
British citizen, Paramjit Singh Dhaddi who has been falsely
imprisoned and tortured in Punjab for 1 year since 23 December 2006.
The Sikh Federation (UK) also released its 2008 Calendar. The
Calendar pays special tribute to those that have sacrificed their
lives for freedom and justice in the last 30 years, beginning with
the 13 Shaheeds in Amritsar on 13 April 1978.
