The UK government has refuted the claims made in the Indian media regarding the seizure of Khalistani bank accounts and the confiscation of Rs 100 crore. Reports had suggested that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had cracked down on Khalistani networks, freezing over 300 bank accounts. However, the UK Home Office stated that it does not recognize these allegations. A government official emphasized that no form of extremism is acceptable in the UK and highlighted the country’s duty to counter such ideologies. In response to the circulated news, the Sikh Federation in the UK deemed it to be fake news used for transnational repression.
