New Delhi [India]: A Sikh restaurant owner based in London, Harman Singh Kapoor who has been receiving continuous threats and suffered attacks by Khalistani extremists, said on Saturday that as India is growing now, some foreign countries are manipulating Sikhs to turn against India.
"Some people do not like the fact that India has been growing. Foreign countries are manipulating Sikhs to turn against India so that India diverts its attention towards these issues and doesn't prosper. It is foreign countries' conspiracy...," he said.
Last week, Harman's car was allegedly vandalised by the extremists in West London. A video posted on X by Insightuk2, which describes itself as a social movement of British Hindus and Indians, claimed that some unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire at the car of Harman Singh Kapoor.
He emphasised that he has been living in the UK for 26 years and "Khalistan movement has been active in the UK in the last 1.5 years."
Harman posted a video on this issue which went viral. "For over 9 months, I have been getting threats and there have been attacks on me as well because I told the truth in that video," he noted.
He further added that the Khalistani extremists attacked his restaurant. "They attacked my restaurant, it's okay, but they should not have come to my home. Now either I will live, or they will live."
Harman in an exclusive interview, told ANI that the terrorists who came to attack him were dressed as Sikhs.
"The people who came to attack me dressed themselves as Sikhs. My wife and my daughter said that we should fight this as they are defaming Sikhs, Hindus and India. We know that Sikhs never attack vulnerable people and we have to fight for our faith and our country" he added.
He emphasised, "I want this fight to end."
Harman complained about the negligence of UK officials after he reported the incident to the police station.
He said, "No actions were taken by the officials, they only recorded my complaint. Police are not arresting them, the Khalistanis are roaming free. Khalistanis have support from the Police. Khalistanis are their political assets there. If a countryman is attacked, the accused should be arrested but in my case, these Khalistanis were not arrested by Police."
