Jasvir Singh: 'I'm a devout Sikh - and married to a man'One of the most prominent Sikh voices in British public life. He is also gay - a fact that he has kept mostly private until now. It's put him at odds with some members of his own community, but he says he now wants to speak up about his sexuality.
Jasvir Singh lays out some photographs on the table in front of him and takes a deep breath. They are pictures of joyful moments from the day last summer when he married his husband, Nick.
"Just as my Sikhism is part of me, so is my sexuality. So is my turban. So is my identity. I can't divorce any one thing from the rest of me. That is who I am."

Please do not label him a sikh as born in a possible sikh household does not make you a sikh...
All the best Jas and Nick congratulations
Doesn’t look like a devout sikh ,and shouldn’t class himself one

Administered by Transport for London, you may be eligible for up to £2000 scrap value of your car, £1000 for a motorcycle and up to £9500 for a van or a minibus. There are also incentives to scrap your vehicle for bus passes, cycle hire and e-scooter rental.

Fearful mum killed by knife-obsessed son told 'weak parenting' was to blameJasbir Kaur made pleas for help about dangerous son Anmol Chana before he finally killed her and step-dad Rupinder Bassan
in February 2020 finally went off, stabbing both Ms Kaur, 52, and her husband Rupinder Bassan, 51, more than 20 times at their home on Mount Road. He was jailed for at least 36 years after being found guilty of their murders.
Chana claimed he killed them in self-defence but his story was dismissed as "fantasy" by prosecutors and jurors concluded he was lying. A domestic homicide review has now delivered a damning verdict on the actions of agencies involved with the family in the years before the murders who could have helped save the tragic couple.
