Starmer facing ban from Sikh events over failure to follow through with promised inquiry

By Tim Baker, political reporter

Sir Keir Starmer is facing a nine-day deadline to avoid Labour MPs being banned from Sikh events and gurdwaras.

Hundreds of Sikh groups are threatening to “no platform” Labour MPs if the government does not announce an inquiry into alleged UK involvement in the Golden Temple massacre, and other “anti-Sikh measures” carried out by India during the Thatcher era, according to a letter seen by Sky News.

It comes as the Sikh Federation continues to call for the probe – saying it was promised in the run-up to the general election last year.

The calls relate to questions around what part the UK and British special forces played in the 1984 killings, in which hundreds of Sikhs died after the Indian military entered the temple complex where separatists had sought refuge.

Previous limited investigations under David Cameron found a single British officer provided advice to the Indian government before the raid – but there was “no evidence of UK government involvement in the operation itself”.

Writing to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Tuesday, the Sikh Federation said it wanted a timeline of a judge-led inquiry to be confirmed by 31 July – Friday next week.
