Priti for Sewa - Preet for Matsara

This is a tale of two women of colour. Two women who share a name but are markedly different by the twist of fate, in their upbringing and of course in their moral and ethical outlook. Two Indian origin women who rose through the ranks to become members of parliament. One sits on the front bench for the Government in the powerful position as the Home Secretary, whilst the other sits on the Labour front bench as the token Shadow Secretary of State for International Development. One keeps winning whilst the other keeps losing. I will let you decide who you think is the winner and the loser.

I am of course talking about the Rt Hons Priti Patel MP (Conservative) and Preet Kaur Gill MP (Labour).

Ever since Priti Patel began her unstoppable rise in politics, she has been attacked by the so called liberal and socialist elements in politics. The fake champions of equality and diversity just could not take it that a person of colour, Priti Patel, can be a Conservative and also be so successful. In their hatred and bitchiness, they gather like hyenas to attack Priti Patel at every opportunity. They have never been shy of lying, or in showing disrespect to Priti Patel and her heritage.

Both Conservative and Labour gathered recently for their annual party-political conferences. It’s not an exaggeration when I say the Labour Party conference was not just a failure, but the deep divisions surfaced yet again. Keir Starmer’s speech for so long that he put his own party to sleep. Contrast this with the Conservative Party conference. It sailed through with very little going wrong. And PM Johnson owned the stage and the attention of the nation. In that moment the nation could see the huge difference between the two parties.

It was one speech in particular that annoyed the Labour extremists the most, that was by Priti Patel. She was self-assured, firm yet fair, and was proud of her heritage when she shared the concept of the Hindu word Sewa with everyone. Rather than acknowledge and respect the faith and culture of a billion Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists, Labour’s Preet Gill reduced the discussion to her gutter level politics. She, and other Indian origin Labour politicians attempted to undermine Priti Patel by distorting the context of Sewa and in bringing their bitter politics of hatred and jealousy to bear. It is a shame that these Labour politicians of Indian origin show such dishonour to their faith and to their heritage.

I started with the words, ‘Priti for Sewa - Preet for Matsara’. Priti or Preet both come from the same root in Sanskrit meaning ‘Love’.

Sewa is a Sanskrit (Hindu) word meaning selfless service. I am not surprised that Labour MPs likes Preet Gill and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi have no idea of what it means.

And then we have the Sanskrit word ‘matsara’, meaning jealousy. Most apt to describe the likes of Preet Gill and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi. They represent a species of Indian origin politicians in Labour that thrive on gutter politics of jealousy, of their own failures and in their own insecurity when it comes to their heritage. I pity these individuals. They disgrace their bloodline, they dishonour the Gurus, and they are still enslaved to the white imperial masters of the Labour Party.

With Navratri and Diwali upon us, get ready to see Priti Patel and Rishi Sunak celebrate their heritage with pride. And no doubt we will see many more attacks on both of them from Labour!
