LONDON: Two hundred militant Sikhs trashed their own community centre in the UK in a violent protest against the sale of meat and alcohol at a private party.

The angry mob broke in after pelting cops with bricks and bottles. They smashed windows, furniture and equipment causing "significant" damage, the Sun reports.

Police from across the West Midlands rushed to the Sikh Cultural Centre in Dudley, where three people, one a cop, were hurt in clashes.

The demonstrators were believed to be from the UK Sangat group, which protests at alleged code-breaking temples.

They accused centre bosses of insulting their faith by allowing alcohol and meat at a private party that night.

The five-hour stand-off on Saturday only ended when the chiefs prohibited the meat and drink.

Sikhs protesting against Liquor ?

What is the world coming to ?

Must be some other issue or the premises perhaps.

Maybe they were expecting "Lassi" and instead got booze and this is what made them mad.

 

[justanobserver]

I knew that alcohol was discouraged in Sikhism, but didn't know anything about meat

 

[Ajaxpaul]

Who invited them to a private party??

Sikhism indeed forbids meat and alcohol consumption and these protesting Sikhs must be those insistent on ceremonies by the book and sticking to puritanical beliefs.

I think it has more to do with something else against particular Sikh Group by India and ToI is taking sides here by using the word Militant
