London: The Sikh Federation (UK) has called on Security Minister Dan Jarvis to urgently disclose information allegedly withheld by the previous Conservative government concerning threats to Sikh activists in Britain.

In a statement issued on Monday (10 November 2025), the Federation confirmed that it has sent a follow-up letter to Jarvis “requesting an urgent meeting,” following its earlier letter last week prompted by the Bloomberg documentary Inside the deaths that rocked India’s relations with the West and the accompanying article Finish Him Brother.

According to the Sikh Federation, “the UK Government is nervous about India’s reaction” after “dozens of critical media reports in India” referred to the previously unreported role of British intelligence. The group noted that Sky News had interviewed Moninder Singh of Sikh Federation Canada and Jas Singh of the Sikh Federation (UK) on 8 November regarding the matter.

The Federation said Jarvis has now been provided with additional information about a key meeting held on 18 July 2023 between Labour MPs and then Security Minister Tom Tugendhat. The meeting followed the “mysterious death of Avtar Singh Khanda in Birmingham on 15 June and the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada on 18 June.”

During that meeting, the Federation said, “Labour MPs raised concerns about the operation of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the UK,” including reports that “in early July 2023 a ‘hit-list’ of Sikh activists” was broadcast on Indian television, with the NIA “claiming responsibility for the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Avtar Singh Khanda.”

The Sikh Federation’s latest letter urges Jarvis to “come clean” and end what it describes as a “cover up” that took place “under the Tory watch,” when “Indian RAW agent Sarvesh Raj was quietly expelled from the UK without explanation in July 2023.”

“The fact the Indian authorities made little or no fuss about the expulsion of Sarvesh Raj adds to the suspicion that he was up to no good in the UK,” the statement reads. The group warned that the current Labour government “will get blamed for what emerges about what took place under the Tory watch” if it fails to act transparently.

The Federation also cautioned that “the UK will be nervous” as more details could surface from “court proceedings in Canada or the US or from Five Eyes partners providing further details of British intelligence that was kept secret.”

Sikh representatives are expected to raise the issue again on Tuesday evening, when “dozens of MPs” will attend a meeting in Committee Room 10 in Parliament from 6–9pm.

The letter to Dan Jarvis has also been copied to Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, who, according to the Federation, “will be aware of India’s reaction following the revelation by Bloomberg.”
