UK Minister Dan Jarvis assured the Sikh Federation of protection, stating, “We do not tolerate intimidation or threats to life.” The assurance follows allegations that Indian agencies targeted British Sikhs. India rejected the claims as baseless, with ex-diplomat Kanwal Sibal stating, “UK authorities have long encouraged Khalistani extremists to threaten India’s sovereignty.” Jarvis also urged India to cooperate with Canada on the Nijjar case, which India labeled politically motivated and lacking evidence. Many Sikhs distanced themselves from the Sikh Federation, criticizing its divisive rhetoric. Questions linger over the allegations’ credibility.
