The UK Gurdwara Alliance has issued a public clarification stating that social media commentators Harman Kapoor and Bobby Singh do not represent the Sikh community, Sikh institutions or any recognized Sikh representative body.In a statement, the organizations said no individual has been authorized, appointed or mandated to speak on behalf of Sikhs. He stressed that views expressed on social media by Kapoor, Singh or other independent commentators should be considered personal opinions rather than the position of the wider Sikh community.The statement urged media organizations, public bodies and other stakeholders not to regard the pair as representatives of Sikh views, arguing that Sikh positions emerge through collective deliberations and recognized pantheic institutions, rather than individual influencers or commentators.The clarification comes amid controversy over comments and online activity involving the two men.Social media personality Bobby Singh has faced criticism over comments he made during an Instagram Live, in which he was accused by critics of expressing support for Vikram Singh Digwa, convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Novak, which he described as the Sikh “brotherhood”. The comments drew significant reaction on social media and were cited by opponents as evidence that his views do not represent the broader Sikh community.London restaurateur Harman Kapoor, known for his outspoken views on Sikh and community issues, has also faced criticism in recent months over comments he made during an interview. Some Sikh groups have argued that his comments on issues including carrying the kirpan and Sikh identity do not reflect mainstream Sikh views.The organizations said this clarification was issued to prevent misrepresentation of the Sikh community and to protect the integrity of Sikh institutions and collective decision-making processes.“The Sikh community has one voice: the collective voice of the Panth,” the statement said.
