UK extremism report draws India criticism

NEW DELHI: After a leaked UK govt report clubbed Khalistan extremism with "Hindu nationalist extremism" describing them both as threats, Indian govt took note of the same, saying the nature of threat emanating from the UK is well known and it should not be "falsely equated". According to a report from London, two types of extremism with their origins in Indian subcontinent - pro-Khalistan extremism and Hindu nationalist extremism - were flagged as threats to "understand" in a leaked report into the UK govt's 'Extremism Review'.

"We've seen some reports on this matter. Nature of separatist and extremist threat out of the UK is well known. It should not be condoned or falsely equated,'' said ministry of external affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
