London, 21 November:In response to the detailed news report published by Global Governance News (GGN) about his alleged links with Khalistani elements, Mr Darshan Singh Grewal—prominent diaspora leader and Vice President of OFBJP, London—has issued a comprehensive clarification, firmly distancing himself from any separatist or anti-India organisations operating in the UK .

According to Mr. Grewal, the photographs and visuals carried by GGN—sourced from an event in Southall—were from an election campaign organised by the Sher Group. He explained that the person who figures prominently in the photographs is Mr. Manjit Singh and that his presence at the venue itself was only for attending an election-related interaction held inside the Southall Gurdwara.
In a clarification sent via WhatsApp to GGN, Mr. Grewal claims that he never knew about the internal ideological leanings of the Sher Group, saying that he was not aware that some persons associated with the group have for years openly sympathized with Khalistani outfits known for their anti-India propaganda abroad. GGN, however, reiterates that it has photographic and video evidence of the group’s activities, including installations and displays showcasing pro-Khalistan narratives.
Grewal said that he believes anything amounting to visual nearness or sharing of the stage at the event has been “misconstrued,” reiterating that he neither supports nor collaborates with separatist groups. “I am a BJP supporter and a proud Indian,” he said, adding his political and community engagements had always been guided by nationalism and welfare for the Indian diaspora.
The rejoinder seeks to dispel the misunderstanding created after the publication of GGN’s earlier report and urges the community to view the incident in its proper context. GGN insists that its reportage was based on symbolic backdrops, visible cues, and group activities documented by its editorial team.
Yet, the question lingers in the air:
If Mr. Grewal is a senior member of the OFBJP team, why was he speaking from the platform of the Sher Group—an organisation widely known to be run by Mr. Malhi, whose sympathies for the Khalistan cause have been no secret for many years?
The OFBJP leadership has, according to sources, started an internal examination of the entire episode, given its possible implications for the integrity and unity of the Indian diaspora in the UK and, by extension, for Bharat. This controversy is a repeat of how sensitive and volatile community politics can be in the UK, where even symbolic visual associations, platform-sharing, or proximity at public events trigger serious questions when the backdrop involves groups with a history of Khalistani advocacy.
