Giving out details on the incident, a pro-Khalistan Sikh activist said that some of them found out that Doraiswami had a meeting planned with the gurdwara committee of the Glasgow Gurdwara on Albert Drive.
Sikh activists claimed that Indian officials are “not welcome” in any Gurdwara in Britain due to recent tensions and targeting of British Sikhs.
He claimed “I don’t think the Gurdwara Committee is also happy with what happened. But Indian officials are not welcome in any Gurudwara in Britain. We are fed up with the UK-India intriguing relation. The recent tensions since Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing have led to British Sikhs being targeted. This is to do with Avtar Singh Khanda and Jagtar Singh Johal too,” he said.
The dispute between New Delhi and Ottawa began when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on September 18 alleged the “possible” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar in June. India strongly rejected the allegations as “absurd” and “motivated” and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in retaliation for Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian official over the matter.
Meanwhile, sources said on Wednesday that pro-Khalistan elements based in Canada are luring gullible Sikh youth to the North American country by sponsoring visas with the sole aim of using them to further their agenda on Canadian soil .
