New Delhi, July 2: In May this year, London-based Ankit Love apologized to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 2 for taking part in an anti-government rally in 2022, which led to his being blacklisted by the High Commission.
Ankit Love, who apologized for hurling eggs and stones at the High Commission during the February 2022 protest, had asked the prime minister to step in so that he could return and perform the last rites of his mother, Jay Mala.
Love was unable to attend the funeral of his mother. Love claims that he was put on India's “blacklist” after being detained by British authorities on February 14, 2022, as a result of a demonstration outside the Indian High Commission in London.
In an open letter to the Prime Minister on May 2, Love expressed his remorse and apology for the mistake he made by hurling eggs and stones at the High Commission.
“I, Ankit Love, son of late Prof Bhim Singh and late Adv Jay Mala, resident of the UK, hereby sincerely apologize for my mistake of pelting eggs and stones at the Indian High Commission in the UK, which I deeply and sincerely regret,” he wrote.
He sought forgiveness and said that he urgently needed to visit the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in India. He also said that some other people surrounding him had misled him, which had led to the mistake, for which he sincerely apologized.
“…I assure you that henceforth there will be no such act by me against my nation, which I love very much and am very much proud of,” Love wrote adding that his late father Bhim Singh had battled his entire life for the full annexation of Jammu and Kashmir with India. |
