Letter written by Bikar Singh Dhillon, president of Khalsa Diwan Society Vancouver, to B.C. Premier Bill Vander Zalm. Dhillon expresses his shock at the premier's treatment of M.L.A. Moe Sihota, as well as his refusal to support the placement of a commemorative plaque honouring the passengers of the Komagata Maru. Dhillon reminds the premier of the past actions of the provincial government during the time of the Komagata Maru tragedy, and further reminds Vander Zalm of his previous promises to honour the Sikh community. The letter is printed on a white paper with the Khalsa Diwan Society Vancouver letterhead.
