Khalistani extremists heckle and attempted to attack external affairs minister S Jaishankar in London on Thursday while he is leaving a car after attending a event at the Chattam House think tank.
A video circulating online shows a man running towards Jaishankar’s vehicle and tearing the Indian national flag in front of London police officers. Despite the act of vandalism, the officers appeared unresponsive.
Several pro-Khalistan supporters were seen holding flags and staging a protest outside the venue where Jaishankar participated in a discussion.
The incident took place during Jaishankar’s official visit to the UK from March 4-9, aimed at strengthening the India-UK comprehensive strategic partnership, covering trade, health, education, people-to-people ties, and defence cooperation. He is scheduled to meet British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and other key officials.
Following his UK engagements, Jaishankar will travel to Ireland from March 6-7 to hold talks with Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris and interact with the Indian diaspora.
