Prime Minister Theresa May hailed the contribution of Sikhs to the country, and said their values are needed now more than ever.
 
Vaisakhi events have been organised in the palace of Westminster and by the Indian high commission. British Sikhs numbered over 4.3 lakh in the 2011 census; members of the community have held positions in public life.
 
May said in her message: “I send my best wishes to everyone in Britain and around the world celebrating Vaisakhi – one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar and a time when families and friends come together to commemorate the birth of the Khalsa”.
 
“As Sikhs across the globe take part in spectacular processions, and neighbourhoods and Gurdwaras burst forth with colour, I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the immense contribution British Sikhs make to our country”.
 
“Whether it’s in the fields of business, the armed forces or the charitable sector, you consistently follow the pillars of your faith and in so doing set an example to us all”.
 
Recalling the ongoing process of the UK leaving the EU, she added: “Your values – of equality and respect, of fairness and helping those less fortunate than yourselves – are values we need more than ever, as we forge a new, ambitious, role for Britain in the world”.
 
“I am determined to build a country that works for everyone; a country where no matter who you are, you can achieve your goals – and the Sikh community is a vital part of that mission”.
 
A recent survey in the British Sikh Report 2017 revealed that 65% voted to remain in the EU, but 73% would now vote to remain if there were a second EU Referendum. It also revealed that 13% of British Sikhs had been victims of hate crimes since the EU referendum.

Referring to reports on Punjab’s drug problem, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday stressed on the importance of value-based education to wean the state’s youth away from substance abuse. “Today, Punjab needs to move ahead. Along with science and technology, there is a need for value-based education. We hear unsettling stories and news from Punjab on the rampant use of chitta (cocaine) across the state. Its use is only increasing. In order to control this, Punjab will need to compete in the sphere of science and technology,” he said while speaking at the launch of a book on the life of Baba Iqbal Singh, who heads the Kalgidhar Society that runs a chain of 129 Akal Academy schools in the country. These institutions promote value-based education.

“In today’s age, we need science and technology, but we also need to be careful that our children know about our faith and our heritage and how to use it. Science? Yes. Mathematics? Yes. But spiritual values are also needed. The contribution made by Babaji (Iqbal Singh) in this respect is great,” he further said at the event, which was also attended by Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal, businessman Sunil Munjal and economist Isher Judge Ahluwalia.
