On Sunday 6th March Zac Goldsmith visited the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, in Southall. He attended prayers and addressed those gathered, and was presented with a Sikh scarf. Whilst at the Gurdwara, Goldsmith also met with local community leaders.

Paying tribute to London’s Sikh community, Zac said: “London’s 126,000 Sikhs make a huge contribution to our great capital city and I am honoured that you have invited me to join you at this magnificent gurdwara this morning.

“One of the reasons London is the greatest city on earth is because of its diversity, different groups within London get along with each other and I think that’s something precious, something the next Mayor of London needs to do everything they can to protect. Your values of hard work, honesty, treating everyone equally and being generous to the less fortunate are values for all of London.”

He warned not to risk London’s future with a four year experiment with Sadiq Khan and Jeremy Corbyn and went on to pledge to deliver more homes for Londoners, protect transport investment and the number of police on London’s streets and to clean up the air for places like Southall.
