no i am not. whatever the sins of the indian govt may have been in the past, the evidence that we have suggests that sikhs are by and large not a disenfranchised people today in india. the best evidence is that they have been heads of state, heads of defense establishments, and academic institutions.  this is also corroborated by my own personal interactions with them in many spheres of life in india.

Lt Gen K S Brar, who headed the 1984 military operation, said he was not aware of any such British involvement. "As far as I am concerned, Operation Blue Star was planned and executed by Indian Army commanders. There was no involvement of anyone from the British government," he told a TV channel.

>>>I can see approaching them with respect to UK- based anti-(indian) governmental activity to the extent it existed. Asking for planning help from this also- ran power in the 1980's seems out of place.

The SAS and the SBS are well trained for situations like this. Even though I can see them being consulted, I think this is more of local politics for an MP with a large number of pro Khalistan Sikh constituents.

PS: His constituentcy is next to Birmingham. That would explain the high number of Sikhs.
