Khalistani activists stop Indian high commissioner from entering UK gurudwara
Khalistani activists Friday stopped the Indian high commissioner to the United Kingdom from entering a gurudwara in Scotland.
Sikh Youth UK posted a video showing Khalistani activists confronting officials at the Glasgow gurudwara on Alberta Drive over making langar (the community kitchen at Sikh temples) arrangements for the Indian high commissioner Vikram Doraiswami. The official can be seen snatching away the camera from the activist.
The video further shows a few Khalistani activists trying to gang up on the high commissioner’s car before he had to eventually leave.
The radical Sikh activists found out that Doraiswami had planned a meeting with the gurudwara committee and stormed the scene, Times of India reported.
“A few people turned up and told him he was not welcome and he left. There was a slight confrontation. I don’t think the Gurdwara committee is too happy about what happened. But Indian officials are not welcome in any gurdwara in the UK,” TOI quoted a Khalistani activist as saying.
“We are fed up with the UK-India collusion. The recent tensions since the Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing have led to British Sikhs being targeted. This is to do with Avtar Singh Khanda and Jagtar Singh Johal too.”
Avtar Singh Khanda was a Khalistani activist, who, the National Investigation Agency believes, staged the violent protest at the Indian High Commission in London earlier this year in March. The ruckus saw the miscreants scale the wall of the High Commission building and take down India’s flag.
He died a couple of months later in June. His medical records claimed that he died of blood cancer, but his supporters claimed that he was poisoned.
