NEW DELHI, Feb 24: An Indian-origin restaurant owner in London has claimed that he has decided to shut down his eatery after a 16-year run due to a combination of factors, including repeated “disturbances and attacks by Pakistanis.”
Harman Singh Kapoor, the owner of ‘Rangrez’ in Hammersmith, London, said on Tuesday that he would be closing the doors of the Indian restaurant next month. Taking to
He listed several factors that contributed to the eatery’s closure, including “rising costs, ongoing online harassment, repeated disturbances and attacks by Pakistanis, and a lack of proper support from the Met (Metropolitan) Police.”
“Now it’s time for me to dedicate myself fully to activism without distraction. Radicals should keep this in mind: you can disrupt my business, but not my will. I’m coming after you stronger now, with no strings attached. Thank you to every genuine customer who supported us over the years. Grateful always,” he added.
In March 2023, Kapoor alleged his London restaurant came under Khalistani attack after he posted videos on TikTok criticizing the Khalistan movement and mocking radical preacher and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh. In one TikTok video, Kapoor said, “Do you think I don’t want Khalistan? I want it. But not the way you guys are going about it. Khalistan means pure. You guys are ruining its name.”
In another video, he mocked one of Amritpal Singh’s aides, who went on Facebook Live a few days prior while fleeing from the police. “Pols aagi pols (police have come),” the aide was heard saying in the video.
