Kulwant Singh Mothada is in favor of Khalistan, an independent Sikh nation from India. The counter-terrorism department of India has charged him and several other activists, some of whom are deceased, of breaking terror legislation violations. His first TV interview was with Sky News.
He checks the four CCTV feeds that cover his residence for the majority of the day. He always drives a different automobile and takes a different route to work.
When I visit, this is a quiet Wolverhampton area that is cloudy and damp. It is difficult to think that much has ever occurred here.
However, Mr. Mothada worries that the Indian government might murder him even in these quiet lanes. And he has valid concerns.
Some have already passed away.
“Our faces have been seen worldwide and our hit list was shown on TV,” Mr. Mothada says in his first TV appearance with Sky News.
“So I’m a lot more cautious than before because we can be killed here in the UK at any time.”
The Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA), the nation’s counterterrorism division, created a charge sheet known as the “hit list” against sixteen people who are all alleged to have broken terror legislation. Of them, six are UK residents.
A news broadcast appeared on the Indian television station that Mr. Mothada was watching last year. It referred to “enemies of the state” in a grandiose manner, and Mr. Mothada was one of them.
