Sikh Council UK urges all Gurdwaras’ and other community organisations to review security
arrangements including checking CCTV provision is in working order following yesterday’s terrorist
attack in London.
Unfortunately as seen in past, Sikhs and Gurdwaras have been targeted in ignorance and been
subject to hate crimes due to our distinct identity.
Gurdwara managements and congregations are requested to remain vigilant and report any
suspicious activity to the police and Sikh Council UK.
Anyone who is subject to any form of hate crime whether physical or verbal is urged to report the
matter to the police and the Sikh Council UK right away. It is important that any such reporting
makes clear you believe a hate crime has been committed in order to ensure it is recorded
accurately in police records.
If you have an emergency call 999 otherwise call 101 for all non urgent matters. Anti-terrorism
hotline number is 0800 789 321 for all suspicious terrorism related matters.
Sikh Council UK reiterates our condemnation of yesterday’s terrorist attack and our thoughts and
prayers are with all those affected.
