On the 18th of December, a man was lynched in Amritsar for attempted sacrilege at Amritsar’s Golden Temple. In relation to the Amritsar case, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa reported that “He attempted murder by picking up the sword in front of Guru Granth Sahib at 5.50 pm and desecrated the cloth used to cover the holy book.”
A day after the incident, another unidentified man was beaten to death by locals at Nizampur in Punjab’s Kapurthala district for allegedly disrespecting the ‘Nishan Sahib’. Gurdwara manager Amarjit Singh alleged that the man was trying to desecrate the Nishan Sahib, a religious flag, and he was sent by someone from Delhi.’ A local resident reported, “The youth had prepared tea and had a meal in the gurdwara last night. He was from Gopalganj district of Bihar.”
Meanwhile, the police have conducted a probe into the matter as they suspect “a larger conspiracy” ahead of the 2022 elections.
While these attempts are being carried out to disturb the harmony , a few elements are fueling the situation.
A screenshot shared by Journalist Rahul Pandita on Twitter shows British MP Preet Gill portraying the incident as a Hindu terror act. The British MP had tweeted, “Hindu terrorist prevented from an act of violence at the Sikh holy shrine of Harminder Sahib, (Golden Temple against Sikhs).
However, Preet has now deleted the tweet. (Tanya Trivedi@TFI)

Whilst what happened at the Golden Temple is unacceptable, to brand without any verification the rest of the Hindus as ‘terrorists’ is frankly an uninformed and desperate attempt by this Labour MP, a party which us becoming more Hindu phobic to keep up their vote bank
British Hindus will not be intimidates by such statements because among the Sikhs themselves there will be condemnation of such remarks.
Labour MPs especially from Pakistani origin and now finding a strange unfit of some Sikhs with Muslims are trying to bring events in India to fore in the UK but it won’t succeed British Hindus should be aware of such sentiments prevailing in Labour Party and for future elections give it due consideration
