“Gurpreet Singh Rehal’s guilt lies not in funding in terror, but in freeing minds”
Having let the initial reaction play out, I'm compelled to now speak out about the sanctions put on British Sikh community figure Gurpreet Singh Rehal, most known for his involvement with Morecambe FC.
Here I see the UK government place a "landmark" (*1) life-destroying ruling on this man WITHOUT HIM BEING GUILTY OF A CRIME, and the great British press just nod along uncritically like it makes complete sense. Call a man with a beard and turban a terrorist, does anyone second guess it nowadays?
Panthic Sikhs know this authoritarian move is the fruition of long-time Indian State pressure via the influence of international trade (a relevant topic nowadays). Many also thought our British countrymen knew better, but comments suggest most have accepted this Khalistani (free Sikh homeland supporter) terrorism narrative.
So where even is this alleged terror? Well, some Indian nationalists are currently linking (*2) Rehal to the suspicious (*3) 1985 Air India bombing, which occurred before he was even born.
This absurdity encapsulates not just what is happening to Rehal, but what also happened to the #WestMidlands3 (*4), Scotstman Jagtar Singh Johal (*5) and various Sikhs targeted by India for dissent in Britain.
These links (*6 7 8) will show India’s own authorities are unreliable on whether recent Khalistani terror actually exists or not, or else separate entities give conflicting statements (EG local police vs NIA).
Yet, India has lobbied so hard against Khalistan, the term is now a dogwhistle causing flusters amongst the uneducated. And that is where Rehal’s guilt lies. Not in funding terror, but freeing minds with education.
Amongst all written on him, few expand on his educational community franchise Saving Punjab. Yet, whilst known as just an Instagram page (*9), Saving Punjab summarises exactly why he is targeted.
Rehal’s educational content on Punjab’s governance and infrastructure has become massively popular and influential within the 150million+ Punjabi community, succinctly exposing issues and explaining agendas within the ever-conflicted Northern state buffering Pakistan, home to most of the world’s Sikhs. It is why Rehal has spoken in Sikh spaces across the world (*12), as one of the community’s most accomplished voices on Punjab rights, including at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Surrey (BC, Canada) in 2023, just months after India's assassination of its President.
Previous accomplished Punjab rights voices include piles of bodies, courtesy of a genocidal (*12) Indian government which cares little for life whilst policing a billion people. One of the freshest bodies is another Sikh media figure in a “Litvinenko Part 2” in Birmingham, 2023 (*10).
This is because Punjabi Sikhs have shown exceptional ability to resist India's subjugation with mass communal movements regularly, including last month with the Panjab University protest, and most memorably in recent times with the Farmers Protest of 2020, "the largest protest in history" (*11). The belief Punjabi Sikhs may push for independence terrifies India. But it does not terrorize India. It only resists India.
To India, Rehal is a threat just being himself; a successful entrepreneur, a fantastic speaker and content creator, and another Sikh exposing Hindutva (Hindu extremist). But he is no terror supporter.
India is not strategic. Sikh diaspora politicians, journalists, artists, even humanitarians- all have been accused of being extremists when mentioning India's blatant fascism. On this occasion, for reasons likely solidified by a recent trade and migration agreement, Keir Starmer’s Labour Government have caved in to India’s efforts to silence Rehal.
Gurpreet Singh Rehal is not guilty of any crime under British law. So instead of a mudslinging campaign, Brits would be wise to think of where else this new measure could be used. To us, it seems like first they came for the Sikhs...
Today marks 8 years since Jagtar was abducted by plain clothed officers in India & has since been arbitrarily detained.
The UK government has failed to call for the release & have been an accomplice to the torture Jagtar has endured.

My brother has stood up to bullies his whole life, and we all know bullies fold when someone stands up to them.
People forget he’s trained in MMA for years—he’s not afraid of these far-right cowards.
It’s time we all stand up to them.
