UK’s Indian diaspora protested outside the Indian High Commission in London, after the Commission building was vandalised by pro-Khalistani group. Hundreds of protesters of Indian origin were seen protesting outside the London office. The protestors chanted patriotic slogans and waved the Indian flag outside the Indian High Commission office in London, reported Republic World.

The demonstrations came days after the people carrying the Khalistani flag vandalised the consulate earlier this month. Following the whole ordeal, the Indian Minister of External Affairs summoned the senior most-UK diplomat to talk about the issue. In the recent demonstrations on March 21, the Indians were seen dancing and cheering, sending out a clear message that disrespect was “unacceptable”.

In the incident that took place on March 19, the protesters broke the makeshift security barriers raised by the city police and installed two Khalistani flags inside the Consulate premises

The demonstrations came after instances of pro-Khalistan protestors vandalising Indian consulates started taking place in different parts of the world.

The March 21demonstrations outside the Indian High Commission office in London indicated that the Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom was standing tall against the malicious actions of pro-Khalistani groups. After vandalising the Indian consulate in London, it was reported that the pro-Khalistan protestors attacked and damaged the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.

This prompted sharp condemnation from Indian Americans who demanded immediate action against those responsible for it. In the incident that took place on March 19, the protesters broke the makeshift security barriers raised by the city police and installed two Khalistani flags inside the Consulate premises.
