LONDON: MP Bob Blackman has raised the storming of a cinema on Sunday night in the UK parliament, describing the masked Khalistan supporters who barged into the theatre and got ‘Emergency’ stopped as “terrorists”. The Tory MP called on home secretary Yvette Cooper to issue a statement about the incident outlining what she would do to ensure that the British public could watch films, which are passed by censors, in peace.
Lucy Powell, leader of the House of Commons, agreed British people should be able to go about their activities freely and she would update the House on this “important matter”.
Blackman described it as “horrific intimidation” of his constituents by “pro-Khalistan thugs” on X, saying: “We must stand up to anyone trying to silence free speech.”
