Obnoxious Pakistani (UK) User ID: 64309373 United Kingdom 05/17/2017 08:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Boris Johnson British Secretary of State Offends Sikhs by joking about Alcohol in a Sikh Temple The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Boris Johnson, has offended the Sikh community by promoting Alcohol in a Sikh Temple (also known as a Gurdwara) The foreign secretary promised his audience that a future Conservative government would increase free trade and end tariffs on India's imports of British whisky. But his comments provoked a furious response from some members of the crowd. One woman, Balbir Kaur, was described by witnesses as being “absolutely livid”. “How dare you talk about alcohol in a Sikh temple,” she said. “You are standing in a Sikh [temple] talking about alcohol which is absolutely outrageous – it’s absolutely not right.”Drinking is forbidden in many Sikh teachings. But the former Mayor of London continued: “I’m very sorry if you think that alcohol is a bad thing – I understand your point of view. It is not, though, the view of every religion. There are plenty of Sikhs who are good and practising Sikhs who don’t take your attitude." Many Sikhs openly drink and Boris Johnson brought up alcohol as its actually one of the largest exports of India to Britain. But other members of the temple he visited told Mr Johnson that if he had made the comments in India, he “would not have got out of the temple alive”.
