Pro-Khalistan Extremists in Britain: PM Rishi Sunak-led government is now preparing to take action on the misdeeds of pro-Khalistan extremists in Britain. At the same time, “The Bloom Review”, an independent report commissioned by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, highlighted the existence of a very vocal and aggressive minority of British Sikhs, described as pro-Khalistan extremists. Has gone.
“The Bloom Review” report also mentions how the government should deal with certain faith groups in England. The report also sheds light on understanding the “subversive and communal activity” flourishing within the Sikh community. The report warned that some pro-Khalistan Sikh groups aim to artificially inflate their influence by lobbying political bodies under the guise of human rights activism. The report also reveals that some groups use various aliases to “subvert the British political system”, with tactics historically similar to those of white supremacism and Islamic terrorist groups.
“The Bloom Review” Report Mentions Extremist Sikh Organizations
The report revealed that the subversive, sectarian and discriminatory activities of some vocal Sikh groups do not reflect the true nature of the majority of the British Sikh community. However, their activities have adversely affected these communities, making it important for the government to take steps to define and deal with such harmful elements.
Pro-Khalistan organization had given threats
The Bloom Review offers evidence from more than 21,000 responses to a series of questions about how people of all faiths view government engagement with faith organizations. It has also been told in the report that Lord Singh of Wimbledon, who is associated with the House of Lords Conduct Committee, was ill-treated to silence him. He claimed that he was being threatened and harassed by certain individuals and organisations, who were seeking to restrain him from expressing views contrary to theirs on Sikh issues. A key pro-Khalistan organization behind the abuse of Lord Singh was the Sikh Federation UK (SFUK), which runs the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), an informal cross-party group for British Sikhs.
Increased pressure on the government to act
Colin Bloom reports that there may be some overlap of membership between some Sikh groups operating in the UK and those banned. The report recommended that the All-Party Parliamentary Group for British Sikhs take note of these findings and that parliamentary authorities take steps to prevent the involuntary hosting of individuals and organizations associated with bullying, harassment and subversive behaviour. The main recommendation of the report has been that the British government should “clearly define and investigate extremist activity and identify the extent to which such elements exist within the Sikh community.” Furthermore the report says, “Steps should be taken to develop a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of subversive and sectarian Sikh extremist activity”.
Demand for ban on pro-Khalistan terrorists
Bloom’s report is also important because it exposes the handiwork of those elements (Khalistan supporters) who were vandalizing the Indian High Commission in the UK. Indo-UK relations were affected after those incidents earlier this year. Britain had assured the security of the Indian mission after the incident. Also, the issue of attack on the Indian Consulate was also raised in the British Parliament, where MP Bob Blackman demanded a ban on pro-Khalistan terrorists.
