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

A Sikh group has been left "disappointed" after Labour failed to open an inquiry into potential links between the UK and deaths of hundreds of Sikhs at the Golden Temple in India in 1984.

The article discusses the disappointment expressed by the Sikh Federation UK regarding the Labour Party's silence on the 1984 Golden Temple massacre inquiry. During a recent Labour Party conference, there was no mention or commitment to an independent public inquiry into the events of June 1984, when the Indian army attacked the Golden Temple in Amritsar, leading to numerous Sikh deaths. 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. The Federation's leader, Dabinderjit Singh, highlighted the lack of acknowledgment from Labour, especially in light of the party's efforts to engage with the Sikh community. This silence is seen as a betrayal, particularly since the Conservative Party has also failed to address the issue adequately, leaving the Sikh community feeling neglected by both major UK political parties.
