A UK Research Warns Of Violent Khalistan Militancy And Calls For Government Intervention.
Khalistan has been a topic in the existence of India since some time now. However, the activities of Khalistani protestors recently have garnered limelight after their attempt to compromise the dignity of the Indian flag on Foreign lands.
A tiny, vociferous, and confrontational group of British Sikhs have been identified as pro-Khalistan radicals by The Bloom Review, an independent investigation commissioned by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The report’s findings come at a time when the Indian government has raised concerns about the activities of pro-Khalistan elements in Britain, particularly after violent protests outside the Indian high commission after the launch of a breakdown in Punjab on radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his followers.
A more in-depth understanding of subversive and sectarian activities inside the Sikh community is necessary, according to the research, which also looks at how the government should interact with religious communities in England.
The research issues a warning that certain pro-Khalistan Sikh organisations seek to fake credibility by influencing political entities under the pretext of human rights activists.
It also mentions that certain groups use numerous aliases to challenge the British political system, a tactic traditionally employed by terrorist organisations affiliated with white supremacy and Islam. It states that the subversive, sectarian, and prejudiced actions of these organisations do not accurately represent the actual character of the majority of British Sikh communities. It does accept that these actions have had a negative impact on these communities, however, and that the government must act to define and combat this dangerous extremism.
It also stated that certain organisations and sections in the UK are encouraging a separatist agenda, emphasising the importance of resolving the matter as soon as possible. The Sikh communities in the United Kingdom, according to the research, face coercion and intimidation from fringe Khalistani groups. By influencing political institutions under the guise of human rights action, these pro-Khalistan organisations artificially enhance their relevance and receive disproportionate attention.
The Bloom Review is based on more than 21,000 answers to a request for evidence that asked a number of questions regarding how people of all faiths see the government’s relationship with religious institutions. It contains 22 suggestions for the Secretary of State for Increasing Up Housing and Communities on ways to enhance participation, both in terms of acknowledging the contribution of religious communities and eliminating harmful practices associated with faith.
According to the claims, Lord Singh of Wimbledon, a prominent Sikh in public life, was purposely ill-treated in order to quiet him in his recent testimony before the House of Lords Conduct Committee. He stated that he was being tormented and harassed by persons and organisations who wanted to keep him from voicing opposing views on Sikh problems.
The Sikh Federation UK (SFUK), a significant pro-Khalistan organisation that also operates the All Party Parliamentary Organisation (APPG) for British Sikhs, an informal cross-party organisation, mistreated Lord Singh. According to the Colin Bloom assessment, there may be some membership overlap between certain Sikh organisations functioning in the UK and prohibited groups.
The research suggests that the All-Party Parliamentary Group for British Sikhs take note of these results and that parliamentary authorities take action to avoid unwittingly hosting persons and organisations associated with bullying, harassment, and subversive activities.
The report’s main recommendation is that the British government clearly define and investigate the extremist activity, identify where it exists within the Sikh community, and take measures to develop a more deeper understanding of subversive and sectarian Sikh extremist actions. It proposed that the government guarantee that inappropriate and radical activity is not mistakenly legitimised by government or parliamentary participation.
Conclusion.
The claim is crucial since earlier this year, Khalistani extremists vandalised the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom. Following the incident, the UK assured the Indian mission’s safety.
Khalistan has been a great topic in the existence of India since ancient times. However, the activities of Khalistani protestors recently have garnered limelight after their attempt to compromise the dignity of the Indian flag on Foreign lands.
