Sikh group 'disappointed' at Labour's silence on 1984 Golden Temple massacre inquiry

The article discusses the disappointment expressed by the Sikh Federation UK regarding the Labour Party's silence on the 1984 Golden Temple massacre inquiry.

The Sikh Federation had previously secured commitments from Labour leaders like Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy for such an inquiry, but these promises have not been reiterated or acted upon recently.
