Priti Patel in her address to Heritage Foundation at Washington DC on November 19, 2021, had made a statement against the Sikhs, which came to light now. In her statement, Priti Patel claimed that &#8220;Sikh separatist extremism has also caused considerable tensions in recent years&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SGPC President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami said that in the letter written to the British High Commissioner objection has been raised to the statement of UK Home Secretary Priti Patel. Advocate Dhami said that the Sikh organisations in the UK had brought the issue to the notice of SGPC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8220;The statement by Priti Patel is tarnishing the image of the Sikh community. The Sikhs in the UK have a long history of integrating and contributing positively to the UK. Sikhs all over the world have achieved high positions in different countries due to their hard work but the propaganda being spread by the leaders like Priti Patel is motivated to tarnish the image of the Sikh community&#8221;, said Advocate Dhami.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&#8220;We are deeply concerned that the baseless unfounded rhetoric by senior politicians may lead to hate crime against Sikhs around the world. Home Secretary Priti Patel made baseless claims against the Sikhs by committing acts that are hurting the sentiments of the community. Priti Patel should apologise for the statement made against the Sikh community and withdraw her unsubstantiated statement&#8221;, said SGPC President Advocate Dhami.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amritsar, February 6 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has written a letter to the British High Commissioner Alex Ellis over the remarks of United Kingdom (UK) Home Secretary Priti Patel against the Sikhs.
