According to Khalsa Vox, an independent report commissioned by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed concerns about the growing influence of pro-Khalistan extremists within the British Sikh community. The Bloom Review, an independent report commissioned by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has urged the Rishi Sunak government to address the issue immediately and protect the majority of Sikhs in the UK who do not subscribe to extremist ideology.
The report emphasised the importance of dealing with the problem as soon as possible. According to Khalsa Vox, the Sikh communities in the UK face coercion and intimidation from fringe Khalistani elements. By lobbying political bodies under the guise of human rights activism, these pro-Khalistan groups artificially inflate their influence and attract disproportionate attention.
According to the news, the actions of pro-Khalistan groups create a false image of legitimacy, which is contrary to Sikh beliefs. According to the Khalsa Vox report, Khalistani separatists do not represent the views of the majority of British Sikh communities.
The Bloom Review emphasised the negative impact that these extremist groups have on Sikh communities. According to the Khalsa Vox news report, the Bloom Review emphasised the need for the UK government to take measures to define and combat harmful extremism.
Individuals and organisations that support the separatist agenda in the UK have been identified in the report. One such group is linked to Lord Singh’s mistreatment at Wimbledon. Lord Singh, a prominent Sikh figure in public life, has stated that he was harassed and silenced by certain people and organisations for expressing opposing views on Sikh issues.
The incident exemplifies the power struggle within the British Sikh community for official representation and recognition as the preeminent Sikh body in the UK. According to the Bloom Review, most British Sikhs believe that the intimidating and subversive tactics used by pro-Khalistani groups are contrary to the basic tenets of the Sikh faith.
The report comes after Khalistani vandals vandalised the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom in March. Following the incident, the UK government assured the public that they were safe. According to the news report, combating pro-Khalistan extremism in the UK is critical for the well-being of British-Sikh communities and the maintenance of strong diplomatic ties between the UK and India.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the issue of the security of Indian diplomatic establishments in the United Kingdom over the phone with his UK counterpart Rishi Sunak. Prime Minister Modi has called for tough action against anti-India elements.
