A Vaisakhi Disgrace: Pull the License of the Surrey Vaisakhi Parade Until the Organizer Thugs Learn Civility and the Law | Alex G. Tsakumis
When I wrote last week about how appalling it is see so many political scandals in the Indo-Canadian community over the years–an otherwise honourable and decent ethnic group, I couldn’t have predicted that one day later, that same community would be adding to the list.
For Surrey’s Vaisakhi organizer(s) to suggest that MLA Dave Hayer and MP Ujjal Dosanjh might not want to appear at the parade, because “their safety can’t be guaranteed” is one of the most vile and despicable statements to come from a parade organizer in this province’s history (of celebrating diversity).
What an utterly disgusting statement. Vaisakhi, for the uninitiated, is a festival, repeat, festival celebrating the “new harvest.”
It is a festival not only attended by Sikhs (as it’s a Sikh celebration) but, too, by Hindus, Catholics, Orthodox, Jews, etc. I attend several Vaisakhi celebrations every year in Vancouver. I have great friends who are Sikhs and Hindus. None of them are violent, none of them are supportive of anything but celebrating every culture and religion this country has to offer. They’re are not good Canadians. They’re GREAT ones.
Bless them all.
But in Surrey, it is painfully obvious that the thugs organizing this event decided to show the ugly part of their culture–that should not exist.
Let’s be clear: The vigorous discussion over Khalistan succession, which is mainly at the root of this, was essentially done in India a decade ago, and most willing to engage in such a discussion, here, over such an issue, either gave up or died long ago (and from natural causes if they were lucky).
Except in Surrey, where instead of showing the peacefulness and honour that is a trademark of Sikhism, some organizers decided to prove why immigration rules in this country need serious upgrades. They are battling an ancient problem HERE, in our land, which they clearly do not accept as THEIR land too–all while taking advantage of our freedoms and opportunities.
Case in point: Read the following quote VERY carefully. It was uttered by a fellow named Harjinder Singh, President of something called the ‘The Sikh Motorcycle Club of B.C.’
When asked about the CLEARLY veiled threats against Ujjal Dosanjh and Dave Hayer, Mr. Thind, had this to offer.
“There was no threat…they (Messers Hayer and Dosanjh) were just not welcome on the stage…anyone can participate in the parade”
Okay, no follow-up question by the Global reporter, so let me ask a few here: Why Mr. Thind? Why? Why, you ignoramus stuck in last century, should Mr. Hayer and Mr. Dosanjh not be allowed on stage? Hayer has given your community years of service and Dosanjh was the first Indo-Canadian Premier of this province (in the country!) Do you not feel any pride? Is that not enough of an honour for you Mr. Thind, you contemptible fool?
Of course not.
I’ll tell you why it all wasn’t enough. Because mindless stooges in the Sikh community don’t like Hayer and Dosanjh’s family histories–of preaching peace and tolerance. Hayer’s father paid for that with his life and Dosanjh was almost beaten to death for those “offensive” messages.
And if you think that all the younger Sikh’s are repudiating such incredible insanity, think again. Instead of moving the Sikh community to its roots, its PEACEFUL and HONOURABLE roots, the following from a (clearly) young spokesman for the festival parade.
When asked if Premier Campbell’s demand for an apology to Mr. Hayer and Mr. Dosanjh was appropriate, considering their lives were indirectly threatened, spokesman Moninder Singh told the CBC:
“…no need for an apology…because there was a miscommunication”
A miscommunication?
Yet another fool. A perfect opportunity to make matters right by repudiating the offensive statements…instead, more horse manure.
And the below from a very sweet-looking young girl, who was not identified:
“I don’t really believe in that (the threats)…because it’s Vaisakhi and no one should worry about that”
****** hell, the inculcation is generational.
And this from perpetual gaffe-maker Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal, showing once again why the only seat he should have is one outside a barn door:
“Those comments that someone made are totally unacceptable.”
Great! Then why the hell did you go on stage Mr. Dhaliwal? Why did you not boycott the event in support of your brothers Ujjal and Dave? But this isn’t the first time Dhaliwal has proved a lying hypocrite–it’s part of his charm.
Oh, and in case you didn’t get enough of Mr. Thind’s stupidity, here’s how the radicals in the Sikh community react when their grotesque, violent words are questioned. They use their numbers to threaten politicians (only gutless politicians would fall for this, because brave ones would stand up to this ****):
“There are thousands of (provincial) Liberal voters in this parade…(the Premier) boycotting it is a blunder.”
The only blundering {censored} Mr. Thind, is you.
As for the Premier, the most hated man in B.C. (and for good reason), who knows, damn well, he doesn’t need to worry about ever running again (not unless he wants his party decimated), he finally located his testicles (instead of having them located for him) and made a statement which was fair and appropriate. He was right to ask organizers for an apology and he was right to boycott.
But where was Gordon Campbell when B.C.’s Super Mayor, Surrey’s Dianne Watts was under siege a few years ago for refusing to go on stage while the float (which appeared again this year–idiots!) celebrating Sikh extremism by featuring pictures of terrorists connected to the Air India bombing, was included in the parade??? Clearly, the Premier is a fake: Instead of standing up to the extremists then, he folded like a cheap (emphasis on cheap) lawn chair and donned his silk robes, covered his empty cranium and joyfully participated. So, his call for a boycott this year is very, very late.
When I asked Mayor Watts why she would attend, she said this, “Because I wanted to give them (the organizers) the benefit of the doubt. I’ve got lots of friends in the community…but they (the organizers) promised that float (the one featuring terrorists) would NOT be included. They promised the City (of Surrey) it wouldn’t happen.”
At the end of the proverbial day, this disgrace really must be put to an end–before matters turn really violent. It obviously wouldn’t take much. The Surrey Vaisakhi parade must have its licence pulled indefinitely until they can prove that violence and extremism is not ANY PART of that parade–EVER AGAIN.
Otherwise, it badly soils the beauty and peacefulness inherent in being a real Sikh. Doesn’t anyone get that? Where are the rest of the Indo-Canadian politicians in rejecting the insanity??
Considering the spousal abuse and gang-related problems their community has suffered from, you’d think pushing the envelope once more would be the wrong message to send to both Sikhs and non-Sikhs.
Apparently not.
Shame.
