One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist. When it comes to Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale the vast majority of Sikhs see him as a martyr whilst the Indian Government saw him as an extremist. He was the chap who holed-up in the beautiful Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984 with his very heavily-armed comrades. At a time of sectarian tension between Sikhs and the Delhi government, Indira Gandhi decided to storm the holy temple - a decision that cost her her own life months later when she was murdered by two of her Sikh guards.
Mrs Gandhi asked the British Government for advice on breaking the siege at Amritsar and we sent an SAS officer to India. This was sanctioned by Maggie Thatcher herself. The subsequent conflict was a very bloody affair with atrocities beyond the temple complex and with great loss of life. Many Sikhs describe the operation as "genocide". Bhindranwale was killed and is now revered by some in the Sikh community despite his apparent penchant for violence and armed "revolution".
We have seen in this blog that the Labour candidate for Edgbaston - a Councillor from the fundamentally corrupt Labour Borough of Sandwell - Preet Kaur Gill (PKG) has had some monumental lapses in judgement (eg when she supported the self-proclaimed mentally-ill social media troll, Andrew Hipkiss) but this is a recent gem from her very own Twitter account:
PKG, who is said to mix with young groups within the Sikh community at what might be called the "extreme" end of the spectrum, is deeply ambitious and desperate to win the seat on Thursday but come on? The UK sends an officer to a friendly government and that makes the Tories responsible for genocide? This is just crazy stuff. She is an inexperienced councillor and this sort of nonsense shows why she is not fit to be an MP. Let's just hope she doesn't also stir up community tensions with this sort of guff!
It has become fashionable for Sandwell (aka Sadwell) politicians (including vicious bully Tom Watson) to pay tribute to Bhindranwali and here is PKG recently addressing an audience in front of a banner which I am told is hailing him as "the hero":
Oh and here is John Spellar (who has purported to represent the sh*thole that is Warley for countless years from his agreeable London home) at it too....
Mind you the Labour policy does seem to now be to support terrorism in all its guises. The ludicrous Jeremy Corbyn - #jihadijez - wants us to hug-a-bomber-a-day - though this is inadvisable if they are wearing a suicide vest......
