Jeremy Corbyn has visited a Sikh temple, a day after Boris Johnson angered a follower of the faith by discussing whisky exports on a similar visit.

Covering his head with an orange patka as required, Mr Corbyn served food to worshippers and made an offering at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha gurdwara in Southall, west London.

It came after the Foreign Secretary was rounded on by a woman at a Sikh temple in Bristol for attempting to use alcohol as an example of the benefits of a trade deal between the UK and India during a Conservative Party visit.

Both politicians were looking to boost their parties' popularity among Sikhs, traditionally seen as mainly Labour voters, although the Tories campaigned hard for their backing under David Cameron.

On Wednesday, Mr Johnson was at the Nirman Sewak Jatha temple in St George, Bristol, when he began discussing whisky exports.

Some Sikh teachings consider alcohol to be prohibited, although many Sikhs in the UK do drink alcohol.

A worshipper at the temple told Mr Johnson - whose mother-in-law is a Sikh - that his comments were "absolutely outrageous".

In a video posted online by the Bristol Post, Mr Johnson tells the temple: "Whenever we go to India, to Mumbai or to Delhi, we have to bring 'clinkie' in our luggage.

"We have to bring Johnnie Walker, we have to bring whisky, because as you may know there is a duty of 150% in India on imports of Scotch whisky, so we have to bring it in duty free for our relatives.

"But imagine what we could do if there was a free trade deal with India - which there will be."

The video shows a woman at the temple telling Mr Johnson that alcohol is "against our religion".

"I wouldn't be wanting to put somebody in power who wants to put more alcohol in India which is causing a lot of problems already," she told Mr Johnson.

"When I heard that on the news I thought 'no way am I going to vote Tory' because I don't want alcohol. I'm a practising Sikh. To me that is absolutely outrageous."

He replies: "I understand your point of view. Thank you very much for your question."

BBC reporter Pete Simson, who attended the event, tweeted that the woman told Mr Johnson she had experienced alcohol problems in her family.

"He's apologised several times," he added.

Later, Mr Corbyn used a rally near the war memorial in Southall to urge activists help him deliver an election victory "against the odds" and made clear he was targeting Labour gains as well as seeking to hold on to seats.

After being introduced by Virendra Sharma, who held the Ealing, Southall seat for Labour with a majority of 18,760 in 2015, Mr Corbyn said: "I urge all of you to do everything you can in this borough to win every single one of the constituencies in this borough and the ones around because to get a Labour government we need to make gains as well as holding what we have.

"And I ask all of you - do everything you can between now and June 8, put everything you can in to winning this election.

"Let's show that the General Election of 2017 was one that was won against the odds, where those that have been condemned and isolated came together in strength to win the election and win for everybody that needs a government that cares for them."
