The US and UK governments have assured New Delhi that they remain “committed to the safety” of Indian diplomats in their respective countries in the face of pro-Khalistan protests.
New Delhi has said that it wants the pro-Khalistan protesters involved in vandalizing Indian diplomatic missions in Western countries to be brought to justice.
The Indian missions in San Francisco and London have been targeted by pro-Khalistan protestors this past weekend, triggering a severe diplomatic response from New Delhi.
The Indian foreign ministry lodged a strong protest with the senior-most British diplomat in New Delhi on Sunday after extremist protestors tried to bring down an Indian flag, according to an official statement.
Separately, New Delhi also lodged a protest with the top US diplomat in India over the San Francisco incident.
The Indian foreign ministry urged parliamentarians and the governments in the western countries to not be “misled by inaccurate and motivated narratives.”
The comment was made in response to remarks by Canadian foreign minister Melanie Joly and several Canadian parliamentarians, who have expressed concerns over the communication curbs in Punjab as the authorities try to hunt down radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh.
