India has strongly condemned the security lapse during External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to London, calling it a reflection of the “licence” given to separatist forces. A pro-Khalistani protester attempted to breach barricades while others shouted anti-India slogans as Jaishankar left Chatham House. India has urged the UK to take strict action against the culprits, emphasizing that such intimidation cannot be ignored.
The UK Foreign Office has responded, condemning the incident and affirming its commitment to ensuring the security of diplomatic visitors. However, India insists that the sincerity of this statement will be judged by the actions taken. This diplomatic episode adds to growing concerns over the misuse of democratic freedoms by extremist elements in the UK.
