Piara Singh Khabra JP (Punjabi: ਪਿਆਰਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਖਾਬੜਾ; 20 November 1921 – 19 June 2007)[1] was a Punjabi-British Labour politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Ealing Southall from 1992 until his death.
He briefly joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1981, leaving two years later and returning to Labour in 1988.
He said he was proud to speak on the report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, and on the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000.
In the run-up to the 2001 general election, he suggested that Avtar Lit, chairman of Sunrise Radio and an independent challenger for his seat, should be "sent back to India".
[6] In 2002, Khabra also claimed that the local Somali population was behind a recent crime wave in Southall.
Somali activists responded to these criticisms by suggesting that their community was being targeted by some Asians who were attempting to drive them out of the area.
