Appearing on Sunday Morning Live, Jagmeet Singh, from the educational charity Basics of Sikhi, said: "I have to say Sikhs are being killed in Punjab and nobody is reporting it. Jasveer Singh Gill, a spokesman for the Sikh Press Association, said: "Jagmeet was protesting about the lack of mainstream media coverage, particularly in the West, about something that’s been going on in India, and Punjab specifically. The Sikh charity also linked to a petition against the BBC, signed by 76,000 supporters, urging them to end the "media blackout" on violence against Sikhs in India. People praised Mr Singh on social media for highlighting the issue: Mr Gill said that while India portrays itself as the largest democracy in the world, a lot of its practices would be considered undemocratic, "especially the use of the army and police" towards protesters.
