i heard somewhere that UKIP, green party and the lib dems were pro-justice for 84. does anyone know if thats true and what the main parties views on khalistan and 84 are?

Can add SNP and PC to these as well. All put up candidates in the European elections. UKIP, Greens, Lib Dems and SNP already have MEPs.

GREEN PARTY CONFIRMS SUPPORT FOR AN INDEPENDENT SIKH STATE AT SIKH FEDERATION (UK) CONVENTION

Speaking at the Annual International Sikh Convention organised by the Sikh Federation (UK) Jean Lambert MEP, the first UK Green MEP to be elected to the European Parliament in 1999, confirmed that the Green Party had passed a resolution at its Party Conference in support of an independent Sikh State. She also said that to call for independence was a right that Sikhs should be allowed to exercise and if you call for independence it did not make you a terrorist.

Jean Lambert explained she was on the South Asia delegation of the European Parliament and had visited the Darbar Sahib Complex. She said she was struck by the peace and tranquillity in the Complex and contrasted this to the June 1984 attack. She said her party’s resolution was directly linked to the June 1984 attack on the Darbar Sahib Complex and the 25th anniversary was an opportunity to reaffirm their support and for the international community to take action.

There are over 200 Green Party councillors in the UK, two members of the London Assembly, two Members of the Scottish Parliament, two UK Members of the European Parliament and a further 40 Green MEPs from 12 other countries in Europe that Sikhs should look for support on the issue of self determination and independence.

Alex Salmond, the Scottish National Party (SNP) leader, attended an earlier Sikh Federation (UK) Convention and spoke in support of the Sikh right to self determination. The SNP has over 360 councillors, 47 Members of the Scottish Parliament where they are the ruling party, seven MPs in Westminster and two Members of the European Parliament. Plaid Cwyru (PC) - 1 MEP, 3 MPs and 15 Assembly Members, making it the second biggest party in the National Assembly for Wales - have also been supportive on the issues of Sikh self determination and independence. The Greens, SNP, PC and UK Independence Party together represent a sizeable volume of political support for Sikh self determination and independence that will worry the Indian Government.
