UK Diaspora Groups Urge Investigation into Recent Anti-India Protests in London
Fifty UK-based diaspora and community groups have sent an open letter to Indian President Droupadi Murmu expressing concerns over recent anti-India protests in London. The letter calls for an impartial investigation into possible extremist involvement or unlawful coordination, highlighting protests on October 16 and 17 linked to the Students' Federation of India UK and social media influencer Dhruv Rathee. It warns against political mobilisation abroad that could delegitimise India's democratic institutions or promote hostility, urging scrutiny of alleged links to Pakistani, Bangladeshi Islamist, and Khalistani separatist groups.
