Since 1984, Khalistani extremists have made many attempts to break up India. Let us be clear, a Khalistani is NOT a Sikh. The Gurus would reject these rogue imitators who continue to do the work of the Islamic invaders. The very people the Gurus sacrificed their lives fighting against, and in so doing, protected their motherland, Bharat.
The Khalistanis are well resourced and have formed an international network. One wonders how they are funded given the tens of millions they expend in pursuit of their ‘break India’ goal.
Interestingly, these same Khalistanis exhibit cowardice and are too afraid to seek freedom in Pakistan. After all, do remember, some of the most sacred places for the Sikh community are in Pakistan. Yet, these Khalistanis turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed against the Sikh community in Pakistan. As they say, agents of terror seem to band together against India!
Now they have brought their terrorism to the streets of the UK. Under the pretence of freedom of speech, right to protest, farmers march and so on, they rampage through the streets of our nation creating anarchy.
It seems they have secured the support of some Labour MPs and Councillors who have expressed anti-India sentiments on Social Media. Keir Starmer has also been negligent in not condemning these MPs, which gives them a green light to continue their anti-India rhetoric.
The latest strategy brought to my attention is of Khalistanis who clandestinely attempted to organise a car rally in our major cities under the heading that it’s in support of India and the Indian Government. It seems they wanted to get Indians to drive down a route that went through some of the most sensitive areas. One suspects they had hoped this would have led to a violent reaction from the locals. Vinod Popat of the BHV rightly raised the issue with several Police Forces. Fortunately, the plot to plant the seeds of anarchy and incite hatred got exposed just in time.
So I say to every Indian in the UK, don’t fall for these traps. Don’t jump on any bandwagon of publicity conducted via Social Media. Let the anti-India forces show themselves for what they are, a danger to this nation. On that, I hope every Police Force and our friend, the Rt Hon Priti Patel are reading this article. I hope they are proactive and this international network of Khalistani extremism is investigated fully. I would not be surprised if names of some MPs came up with links with these networks.
The message to all true Sikhs is a simple one. Don’t allow these Khalistanis to hijack your wonderful faith. It will be your silence and inaction that will bring dishonour to our Gurus. The Gurdwaras supporting this anarchy dishonour our Gurus and Guru Granth Sahibji. There is a clear attempt by certain entities to pit Sikhs against Hindus. A true Sikh can never be in conflict with a true Hindu. Our heritage is bound by a bloodline that cannot be broken or tarnished.
All true Indians and Indian community leaders (of all faiths and backgrounds) need to come together and reject such extremism, and to advise their communities that it is in our unity that we protect our nation from this madness. This land is our home. The people of this nation are our people. Our commitment as citizens is to work together to protect it from all forces, internal and external, that threaten its security. We are British Indians, and we cannot allow the seeds of anarchy to divide us.
