London, 07 December (Hindustan Reporter). The British royal honor ‘Commander of the British Empire’ (CBE) was withdrawn from Conservative Raminder Singh Ranger, founder of UK FMCG company Sun Mark Limited. This unexpected step has been taken on the recommendation of the Confiscation Committee of the British Cabinet Office. Raminder Singh is famous in the world as Lord Rummy Ranger. He is an Indian-origin member of the House of Lords, the upper house of the British Parliament.
According to British media reports, the confiscation committee made the recommendation following a report by Lord’s Standards Watchdog. The Lord’s Standards Watchdog report said he brought the honors system into disrepute. He threatened and harassed a journalist on social media. The BBC believes the recommendation was made after considering comments made by Lord Ranger in social media posts about the Sikh community and the people of Pakistan.
Lord Ranger said he was “disappointed” to be stripped of the honor and would explore “various legal avenues” to challenge the “unjust” decision. A notice published in the London Gazette on Friday said the king had directed that the honor of Lord Ranger should be “rescinded and cancelled”.
Some other reports said that the honor given to Raminder Singh Ranger was canceled by the head of the British royal family, King Charles III. The British Cabinet Office’s confiscation committee has not explained the reasons behind its recommendation, but the move followed a Lords inquiry last year. Lord Ranger was appointed Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire on 31 December 2015.
After this development, the official statement of Lord Rami Ranger has come out. It said, today the honor given to me by the British Royal Family was withdrawn because I had opposed the Khalistan supporters who intended to break India. He alleged that BBC has made a one-two episode documentary against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which it has been indicated that Prime Minister Modi was involved in the Gujarat riots 20 years ago, even though the top court of India had acquitted him in this case. Is.
Lord Ranger raised serious concerns over the lack of transparency and high level of secrecy surrounding this development and said he was considering challenging the unfair decision. His spokesman said: “Lord Ranger has not committed any crime nor has he broken any law, whereas the vast majority of people whose honors have been revoked in this way have either committed a crime or broken the law. “
Along with this, the appointment of Anil Kumar Bhanot as Officer of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to the Hindu community and inter-religious relations has also been cancelled. He was awarded the title of OBE for his services to the Hindu community and inter-religious relations on the birth anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth in June 2010.
