Police ask Paramjeet Singh Pamma to install security cameras and reinforce door locks at his home
Police have advised a high-profile Sikh activist in the UK to install security cameras at his home and reinforce door locks because of threats from Hindu nationalist elements.
Paramjeet Singh Pamma, 52, said he had been visited by police and received verbal advice to increase his security due to intelligence suggesting threats to his safety.
Singh Pamma said the threats were linked to the Indian government and he accused ministers in the UK of failing to take “relentless” transnational repression by India seriously. The Indian embassy declined to comment.
Singh Pamma is a figure in the Khalistan movement, a campaign for an independent Sikh state that is outlawed in India. Indian government officials describe the movement as terrorist and a threat to national security.
