The Scottish Government has questions to answer.
More than 207,000 fallen men and women are listed on the Scottish War Memorial's Roll of Honour.
Yesterday, the country fell silent at 11am to remember those to gave their lives for us.
Also at precisely 11am yesterday, the Scottish Government's X account published a post. Not about Remembrance Sunday, but about a Sikh festival. In fact, that account did not post to mark Remembrance Sunday at all.
Later in the day they also posted about climate change. But still, did not see it necessary to mark one of the most poignant days in our nation's calendar.
Bandi Chorr Divas is, of course, an important date for Sikhs. Indeed, it coinciding with Remembrance Sunday was the perfect opportunity for the Scottish Government to recognise the almost 200,000 Sikhs who were killed or injured fighting in the World Wars alongside allied forces.
They didn't do this. They chose to just ignore Remembrance Sunday altogether.
I have written to the Scottish Government for answers, not least in identifying who is responsible for showing such contempt and disrespect to our armed forces and veterans.View quoted post on X
