Pro-Khalistan protesters attempt to attack India’s Foreign Minister in London, tears Indian flag

Pro-Khalistan protesters attempted to target Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar during his ongoing visit to the UK. 

The protesters were also seen tearing apart the Indian flag during the protest. 

This shocking incident took place outside the renowned Chatham House.

The protesters approached Jaishankar’s car as he was at the venue for a meeting. 

While the Foreign Minister was engaged in diplomatic talks inside, the outside scene grew increasingly tense. 

A video posted on social media platform X showed the protesters loudly chanting anti-India slogans as the meeting continued.

Jaishankar, who arrived in London on March 4 for a six-day visit, was there to strengthen India’s bilateral trade relations with the UK. 

The visit has been considered significant by both Indian and British officials. 

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized the importance of this diplomatic mission for improving economic ties between the two nations.

The Khalistan movement, which advocates for the creation of a separate state for Sikhs, has been a long-standing issue since India’s partition in 1947. 

The movement gained traction in the 1980s, particularly in India’s Punjab region, where it led to violent conflicts and the loss of thousands of lives. 

The movement slowed down after a major military operation in the late 1980s.

This incident in London has once again brought attention to the controversial Khalistan issue, raising questions about the growing tensions among certain groups in the UK.
