The gurdwara in Scotland, which was the scene of disruption by Khalistani extremists who blocked a planned visit of Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami, has strongly condemned the 바카라disorderly behaviour바카라 and said that the local police are investigating the matter.
In a statement issued on Saturday night, the Glasgow Gurdwara Guru Granth Sahib Sikh Sabha said the "unknown" and "unruly" individuals disturbed the peace at a place of worship and attempted to disrupt the personal visit of the envoy facilitated by a member of the Scottish Parliament.
It followed the High Commission of India in London바카라s statement that said the UK Foreign Office and Metropolitan Police have been upraised of the 바카라disgraceful incident바카라 after violent force was also used at the diplomat's car during the disruption on Friday afternoon.
바카라Certain unknown individuals from outside the Glasgow area attempted to disrupt the visit, following which the visiting party decided to leave the premises,바카라 the gurdwara statement noted.
바카라After the departure of the visitors, these unruly individuals continued to disturb the gurdwara congregation. Police Scotland was in attendance thereafter and have taken cognisance of the matter.
"Glasgow Gurdwara strongly condemns such disorderly behaviour to disrupt the peaceful proceedings of a Sikh place of worship. The Gurdwara is open to people from all communities and backgrounds, and we welcome everyone openly as per our principles of faith,바카라 it said.
Earlier on Saturday, the Indian High Commission said that three people from areas outside Scotland disrupted the planned interaction to discuss community and consular issues.
One of the three radical elements attempted to 바카라violently force open the HC바카라s car door바카라 and it was due to the quick reaction of one of the organisers, who physically intervened at the car door, that a 바카라bigger incident was avoided바카라.
바카라Concerned to see that the Indian High Commissioner, Vikram Doraiswami, was stopped from meeting with the Gurudwara Committee at the Gurudwara in Glasgow. The safety and security of foreign diplomats is of utmost importance and our places of worship in the UK must be open to all,바카라 tweeted Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the UK Foreign Office minister for Indo-Pacific.
Police Scotland has said its enquiries remain ongoing to 바카라establish the full circumstances바카라.
The UK incident follows an India-Canada diplomatic standoff over the issue of pro-Khalistan extremism after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed the authorities are 바카라actively pursuing credible allegations" related to Indian government involvement in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated terrorist.
The Canadian allegations have been strongly rejected by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as 바카라absurd and motivated바카라.
바카라A group of out of town pro-Khalistan activists turn up and physically intimidate the local Sikh committee, and try and attack the High Commissioner in his car, and they film themselves doing it and put it out on their social media accounts,바카라 tweeted Colin Bloom, the Independent Faith Engagement Adviser.
Bloom's report in July had warned of 바카라subversive, aggressive and sectarian바카라 actions of some pro-Khalistani activists in the UK.
바카라My report 바카라The Bloom Review바카라 highlighted the vast majority of British Sikhs are amazing people, but this tiny and aggressive minority are not representative of them. The UK government need to do more to deal with these extremist fringe elements,바카라 he said.
During a visit to India in August, UK Security Minister Tom Tugendhat announced a 95,000-pound fund to tackle pro-Khalistan extremism (PKE) in the wake of an attack on the High Commission in London in March.
