Police have advised a high-profile Sikh activist in the UK to install security cameras at his home and reinforce door locks because of threats from Hindu nationalist elements. Paramjeet Singh Pamma, 52, said he had been visited by police and received verbal advice to increase his security due to intelligence suggesting threats to his safety. Singh Pamma said the threats were linked to the Indian government and he accused ministers in the UK of failing to take relentless transnational repression by India seriously.

The rift stemmed from former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations that Indian agents were involved in the assassination of Sikh leader and activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
