UK report flags ‘pro-Khalistan, Hindu nationalist extremism’ as threats

LONDON (PTI): Two types of extremism with their origins in the Indian subcontinent — pro-Khalistan extremism and Hindu nationalist extremism — have been flagged as threats to “understand” in a leaked report into the UK government’s ‘Extremism Review’.

‘Extremely Confused: The government’s new counter-extremism review revealed’, authored by Andrew Gilligan and Dr Paul Scott for the Policy Exchange think tank released earlier this week, claims ‘Hindu nationalist extremism' has found a mention in such a review for the first time.

UK Home Office Security Minister Dan Jarvis told the House of Commons on Tuesday that it was “not entirely clear which version of the report was leaked” and stressed that its claims did not represent government policy.
