The government is reportedly drawing up plans to ban hate speech preachers from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Indonesia with extremist Islamic views in the UK. The British media Daily Telegraph reported that the British government is concerned about the increasing terrorist activities in the UK. According to the report, the government has appointed officials to identify dangerous people who exhibit terrorist behavior arriving from abroad and has directed that such persons be added to the visa alert list. Under the new plan, people on this list will not be allowed into the UK.
It is also noteworthy that the new plan comes days after UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned that the country’s democratic and multi-faith values are under threat from terrorism. In a speech at 10 Downing Street, Mr Sunak said: “We will work to prevent people from entering here who aim to undermine the country’s values. The Home Secretary has directed that those who came to the country on visas will not be allowed to stay in the country if they spread hatred or terrorize people, he said.

Rishi Sunak also appealed to the demonstrators taking to the streets to protest the Israel-Hamas conflict to ensure that militants do not infiltrate their activities. “The time has come for all to come together to fight the divisive forces and stamp out this poison.” “We need to face the terrorists who are trying to divide us together,” he said. Thousands of people took to the streets of London on Saturday for a pro-Palestinian protest. The Metropolitan Police had arrested 12 people for disturbing the law and order.
