Indian Embassy in UK Vandalized by Khalistani Activists

Khalistani activists vandalized the Indian Embassy in the United Kingdom, resulting in India summoning a senior UK diplomat to express concern and seek assurances that such incidents would not happen again. The incident occurred when protesters carrying Khalistani flags gathered outside the embassy and vandalized the building’s walls with graffiti. The demonstrators also threw stones and eggs at the embassy, causing damage to the property.

The Indian High Commission in London strongly condemned the attack, calling it a “totally unacceptable” act of vandalism. The High Commission urged the UK authorities to take immediate action against the perpetrators and provide security to Indian diplomatic personnel and facilities.

The Ministry of External Affairs of India stated that the safety and security of Indian diplomats and diplomatic premises abroad are the responsibility of the host governments, and they are expected to take necessary measures to ensure their safety. Khalistan is a movement seeking an independent Sikh state in Punjab, India, and has been designated as a terrorist organization by the Indian government. The Indian government has accused Khalistani activists of carrying out attacks on Indian embassies and diplomatic missions abroad in the past.

This incident highlights the need for the UK government to take strong measures to prevent such attacks from happening again and ensure the safety and security of Indian diplomatic premises and personnel. It also underscores the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism and preventing extremist groups from carrying out violent acts on foreign soil.
