Rob Wilson, a British Member of the Parliament and Minister of the Civil Society visited a Gurdwara Sahib in the UK. He promised to support Sikh projects & support Sikhism. He held a copy of the Sikh Manifesto which was launched by the Sikh Federation UK last month that outlines the issues most concerning the Sikh community. While he was attending the Gurdwara the Chardi Kala Turban Academy tied a turban on him which he was very happy about and felt privileged to be the part of Sikh Culture by experiencing the Turban Pride.

Sikhs in the UK have prepared the first ever Sikh Manifesto for the political parties of Britain. Majority of the 700,000 Sikhs in the UK have a common agenda which they hope their respective political leaders will respond to.

There are many issues which need attention such as labeling of Sikhs as Asians, Britain recognizing the 1984 Sikh Genocide as a Genocide, raising voice against the turban ban in France and other important issues highlighted in the Sikh Manifesto.
