A diplomatic row broke out between India and the UK over the removal of the flag at the Indian diplomatic mission in London

An event took place in London that could call into question the further cooperation of Great Britain with India. According to the British press, activists of the Sikh separatist movement "Khalistan" attacked the building of the Indian diplomatic mission in London and tore off the national flag of India from it.

Following the incident, the British Ambassador to New Delhi was urgently summoned to the Indian Foreign Office. There he was strongly protested against the actions of the extremists who tore the flag from the embassy. Interestingly, the British police did not prevent the incident, although they are obliged to ensure the security of foreign diplomatic missions. This, too, could not go unnoticed by the Indian side.



An explanation was demanded for the total lack of British security that allowed these elements to enter the premises of the High Commission.

- underlined in a statement by the Indian Foreign Ministry.

Recall that the Khalistan movement advocates the separation of the state of Punjab from India and the formation of a Sikh state called Khalistan on its territory. Many Sikhs have long emigrated from India to the UK, US and Canada. The West can use such separatist movements to put pressure on New Delhi.

On the other hand, in the current world political situation, it is not very beneficial for the West to quarrel with India, which was previously considered by the US and Great Britain as an important potential ally in the event of a confrontation with China in the Indo-Pacific region.

      Why don't the Hindus themselves guard their embassies? Probably not enough people...

        The embassy is sovereign from the door to it. Security outside is the responsibility of the receiving side. Everything is very tricky there, they remember about the security of the embassy only after excesses. Who needs security and additional control already at the walls of the embassy ?!.

        What could the guard do? Leave the territory of India for the territory of Great Britain and start shooting or beating British citizens?

      the prime minister, although he was born in Hampshire, but an ethnic Indian, it’s interesting to blurt out at least something, or stick his tongue in one place

        The Germans at one time made a mistake by starting to import Turks into Germany, and the French also made a mistake with the Arabs. They needed to import Poles and other today's "young people" in industrial quantities. Because the Pole's dream is that if not him, then at least his children-grandchildren will become "French" or "Germans." And the Turk will ALWAYS remain a Turk and the Arab will ALWAYS remain an Arab - for them, assimilation is impossible by definition, they value their national identity and their way of life too much.

        The same thing I said about the Poles in France applies to the Indians in Britain. Ask their prime minister - and he will say that he is an "Englishman" ...

      They already feel humiliated, they are all led by an Indian. So, look at this action and rejoice

      It is interesting that the WB is full of ill-wishers, but they do not engage in such dirty tricks, and very much so among vassals. Conclusion - among the enemies of Albion entirely decent people, and among the henchmen - below the plinth. Brings to mind...

      Or maybe it's a protest against their prime minister? Such a subtle allusion to thick circumstances. (Sarcasm from the category of English humor).

      Diplomatic row between India and UK

      An event took place in London that could call into question the further cooperation of Great Britain with India.

      What loud statements, it seems that a war is about to begin between India and England.
      And you go to the official website and Facebook of this very High Commission and you understand that this "scandal" occupies India much less than the media in Russia - they write about something completely different there.
