The Khalistan movement has seen a resurgence in different parts of the world, particularly in countries with significant Indian diaspora populations, such as the US, UK, and Australia. Recent attacks on the Indian consulate in San Francisco have raised serious concerns. In a conversation with US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi pointed out the potential threat posed by Khalistanis in the US, reported newindian.in.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi, well-known for his strong condemnation of the consulate attack, was asked about the increasing frequency of violent incidents. When it was pointed out that these attacks were not isolated, having also occurred in the UK, where the Prime Minister has Indian origins and the ripples of tension even reached the shores of the West Coast in the US, further amplifying concerns about the impact of the Khalistan movement in the country, Krishnamoorthi asserted firmly that the Khalistanis represented only a minute faction.

As the conversation unfolded, Congressman Krishnamoorthi’s position remained steadfast – he firmly denied that the Khalistanis pose a significant threat in the US. Instead, he stressed the importance of fostering peaceful dialogue and understanding among communities to address grievances and ensure a harmonious coexistence

He said Sikh Americans did not reflect the broader sentiment of Sikh Americans. He believes that the vast majority of Sikh Americans, along with other Indian Americans, would never endorse or support the violence and aggression propagated by this fringe group.

When addressing worries about potential financial support and the tension generated by Khalistanis between nations, the Congressman emphasized the significance of peaceful resolutions to disputes. He vehemently condemned any form of aggression and violence, citing a recent flyer promoting a rally with alarming language that included the phrase “Kill India.”
