NOTTINGHAMENGLAND; Some Indian agents, masquerading as Sikhs, are trying to make Britain believe that Sikhs are happy with the Indian Government—so much so that they are planning celebration, though belated, of the Indian Independence Day,” Prime Minister Gurmej Singh Gill of Khalistan Government-in-exile has said.
Commenting on an advertisement by the Indian Overseas Congress, announcing the celebration at Nottingham on August 20 (although the Indian Independence Day falls on August 16), he said that it was an “after-thought” aimed at making the British believe that it was being organized, and attended, by genuine Sikhs— and that the struggle for Khalistan was nothing more than a hoax to tamish the image of India.
“No true Sikh can forget the desecration of the Sikh shrines, the murder of thousands of innocent Sikhs, tortures to countless more, the rape and humiliation of the women, the plundering and frag- mentation of the Sikh homeland, the character assassination of the Sikh nation and countless other injustices and betrayals,” he said. “What is there for the Sikhs to celebrate,” he asked, “on the anniversary of the enslavement of a nation by the Indian fraud during the run-up to independence?” He invited the British media and observers to go to Nottingham on August 20, and see for them that the advertisement is nothing more than a ploy to mislead them.
“You will find no more than a handful of Indian sycophants, masquerading as Sikhs, attending the function,” he said. “The genuine Sikhs will stay away from this fraud.”
