A report by a charity called the Sikh Meditation and Rehabilitation Team hasĀ revealedsystematic exploitation of Sikh girls in Britain by Muslim gangs which has been going on for decades.
The report, backed by the Labour Party, expressed clearly that it was not intended to constitute a āwitch-hunt against any individual, community, or culture of faithā.
The study identified predominantly Pakistani men as the abusers, with cases going back as far as the 1960s. According to the study, the girls were groomed by āfashionably-dressed adult Pakistani men travelling in flamboyant vehicles to predominantly Sikh dominated areas and schoolsā.
The young Sikh women would then be passed around members of the perpetratorās family and community after being groomed.
The study goes on to suggest that British police ārecklessly ignoredā reports of this occurring due to āpolitical correctnessā.
āOver the course of three decades, Sikh community leaders in the West Midlands repeatedly assert that when families or community representatives contacted the police regarding the abuse of children, their information was consistently met with disinterest and their claims met by inaction,ā says the report.
āWith the emergence of multiple similar cases across the UK,ā it continues, āthe perceived failure to act has now been attributed to the āpolitical correctnessā that inhibited authorities and agencies from addressing the racial and cultural dimensions understood as causative factors behind the abuse.ā
Labour MP Sarah Champion has since called for an independent investigation to take place into these events.
āWe need to speak of the abuse of Sikh girls to take it out of the shadows and make sure the authorities take it seriously,ā said Champion, āthere needs to be a full investigation into the systematic abuse of Sikh girlsā.
