London: Outrage over the Indian High Commission taking down the tricolor, expatriates said – British government should take action against Khalistan supporters
London. Days after separatist Khalistan supporters brought down the Indian flag from the top of the Indian High Commission in London, the Indian community protested against the “disgraceful act” of the Khalistan supporters by holding a rally in front of the commission. He has demanded that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and the British Government take immediate action against the criminals. Indian High Commissioner to Britain Vikram Doraiswami hosted a meeting of the Indian diaspora at India House and tried to address the concerns of Indian community leaders following the attack.
Significantly, a group of protesters, waving Khalistani flags and raising slogans in support of Khalistan, tried to bring down the tricolor hoisted over the Indian High Commission in London on Sunday evening. Police arrested one person in connection with the violent disturbance following the incident. After this, an additional tricolor has been installed on the Indian High Commission building. After this meeting with the Indian diaspora, the Indian High Commission tweeted, ‘I appreciate their solidarity after the attack on the High Commission on Sunday.’
Surprised at the failure of the UK government
Britain’s Friends of India Society International (FISI) said after Tuesday’s meeting that the Indian diaspora was deeply shocked by the “disgusting act” of desecration of the Indian flag by extremist forces. FISI said, “We are equally appalled at the UK government’s failure to take preventive measures to prevent such shameful incidents endangering Indian diplomatic officials.” In this incident, an officer of the Indian High Commission bravely fought the goons and saved India’s pride by taking the flag from them. The Indian officer had to take this action due to lack of proper security in the premises.
