On the Khalistan issue, United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says, :

"It's a really important question and let me just say unequivocally that no form of extremism or violence like that is acceptable in the UK.

And that's why we are working very closely with the Indian government to particularly tackle 'PKE' Pro-Khalistan Extremism.

I don't think it's right. Our security Minister recently was just in India talking to his counterparts.

We have working groups together to share intelligence and information so that we can root out this kind of violent extremism.

It's not right and I won't tolerate it in the UK."
