LONDON: A Sikh MP in the UK has been abused and centered with threats of violence from livid trolls who assume he used to be now not speaking enough on issues associated with the neighborhood, consistent with a media document.
Tan Dhesi, who was Labour's MP for Slough in June, used to be accused of ignoring the plight of a British Sikh man who used to be arrested all over his visit to India.
But Dhesi vowed to continue running for the entire public "regardless of background, colour or creed" rather than focussing on just one neighborhood, The Sun reported.
The abuse came after Dhesi received the best to talk at Prime Minister's Questions and used the slot to ask about a rail link in his local house.
Trolls stated he must have asked about Jagtar Singh, a Scottish activist who has arrested in India, the document stated.
One troll wrote to the MP pronouncing: "...A Sikh British citizen is being tortured in Punjab and you're worried about rail. You have no response to that. You need a slap upside your head you fake Sikh!"
Dhesi reacted with fury and identified that he has time and again worked on Johal's case.
"It's hard enough serving as an MP without having to face constant abuse from various quarters (whether that's the far- right/extremists/others who feel that I'm only interested in 'my community's issues', or those from within my 'own' community who feel I don't do enough)," he wrote on Facebook.
"When other folks hotel to abuse, they're in truth doing a disservice to their own purpose. I can do what I in truth really feel is true, rather than be compelled by means of anybody to observe their priorities or way of thinking.
"I am not simply a Sikh MP/representative speaking solely on Sikh issues," Dhesi added.
