Dubious: India on UK report targeting political opponents, Khalistanis in Britain

New Delhi,UPDATED: Aug 1, 2025 21:04 IST

India on Friday dismissed a British parliamentary committee report accusing New Delhi of transnational repression against political opponents seeking refuge in the UK, calling the claims "baseless."

In a strongly worded response to media queries on the July 30 report, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “These claims stem from unverified and dubious sources, predominantly linked to proscribed entities and individuals with a clear, documented history of anti-India hostility.”

Questioning the credibility of the sources, Jaiswal added, "The deliberate reliance on discredited sources calls into question the credibility of the report itself."
