Personally I feel if Amir doesn't like the ends, he should just stay away and stay up north, and not cry about it like this: 

 

 

Terrifying new video reveals moment armed gang pounced on Amir Khan and wife Faryal Makhdoom before stealing his £72,000 watch - as couple say it is now 'too unsafe' to walk the streets of London

  • Amir Khan was robbed of his £72,000 diamond-encrusted watch at gunpoint in East London on Monday
  • Boxer, 35, is now in Dubai and says he feels 'very unsafe' walking in London 'because it is very dangerous'
  • Wife Faryal Makhdoom, 30, has defended how she ran away, insisting she cannot 'fight gunman for Amir'

 

Dramatic new CCTV video has emerged of Amir Khan being robbed of his £72,000 diamond-encrusted watch at gunpoint in East London, as the boxer admitted today that he is now 'very scared' to walk around the capital.

Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom are now in Dubai and appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain today to talk about the ordeal

The Olympic silver medallist, 35, and his wife Faryal Makhdoom, 30, were crossing the road in Leyton when two thugs ran over and pointed a gun in his face while demanding the Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph.

Khan - who is now in Dubai with his wife - handed the watch over and the thieves sped off in a car, but the incident on Monday left them both shaken. Khan said today he feels 'very unsafe' in London 'because it is very dangerous'.

He has blamed Sadiq Khan for this fear, telling MailOnline that the London Mayor has failed to tackle crime in the capital and needs to 'pull his finger out'. Today, Amir Khan also told ITV's Good Morning Britain: 'You know, even after it happened, I was still in London for another two days, and I was walking around and I was very scared.

'I'm thinking: "I've not got a watch on me now, God forbid someone comes at me in the alleyways." And I do honestly feel very unsafe when I'm walking around London... England... because it is very dangerous.'

Violent crime is on the rise under Sadiq Khan in London, according to official figures released by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime in January. This data revealed there were 233,965 offences of 'violence against the person' recorded by the Metropolitan Police in 2021 - up 6.1 per cent or 13,358 from 220,607 in 2020.

Khan has decided against moving to London, which had been the family's original plan, and they are instead going to continue living in his hometown of Bolton. He said: 'London is not a place I want to live in anymore. Our plan to move there is not happening. We're going to stick with living in our home in Bolton and spending time in Dubai.' 

Also on GMB today, Makhdoom said: 'You work hard so you should be able to treat yourself, but I think Amir sometimes forgets that he could get targeted. You never ever, you never think this would happen, so it's a really big wake-up call. I don't think you can really walk the streets of London wearing expensive watches and jewellery.'

New footage of the assault, which was shown on GMB today, shows Amir Khan and Makhdoom crossing the road before the assailants approach him and steal the watch at gunpoint - as his wife flees and is almost hit by a car.

Khan told GMB: 'We just walked out the restaurant, me and my wife, and as I crossed the road I was literally just getting into the car, that's when I saw someone went up to me. See, at first I thought maybe it's like a friend of mine or something trying to scare me, but when I saw the gun and he put it literally in my face.

'They ran at me and literally it's the first time I've ever in my life I've even seen a gun in the UK. For someone to have that on the streets makes it so unsafe. I mean, that could have been anyone. And I couldn't really retaliate at all because my wife was next to me. God forbid the person shot the gun and it hit my wife.

'And I'm so happy that Faryal ran back and she made it away from that scene because anything could have happened. Could have been hit by a car, literally so close from being hit by the car, and then luckily the other workers and the owners of the restaurant went over to make sure that I was OK, but it was a bit too late by then.'

Meanwhile, Makhdoom - who is mother to the couple's three children Lamaisah, seven, and Alayna, four, and Muhammad, two - has also posted on Instagram to defend how she fled, saying: 'This isn't Romeo and Juliet'.

Notice how the Guyanese politician is already thinking ahead about a sustainable economy using the new found oil, but making sure that they aren't totally dependent on it, and have developed alternatives way before it runs out. This is the type of forward thinking apnay lack.  

Oil never runs out apparently. It's a myth.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
