The Indian High Commission in London recently unfurled a bigger national flag on its building, following the removal of the previous one by Khalistani supporters. The embassy had initially responded by hoisting a slightly smaller flag on the building. However, on Wednesday, as over 2,000 Khalistani supporters gathered outside the building and attacked the police with ink, water bottles, and powdered colours, the embassy draped the side of the building with a large national flag. Visuals show embassy staff on the terrace holding a long tricolour in a human chain. The extra security in London came shortly after the police in Delhi removed traffic barricades outside the British High Commission, in what some interpreted as a demonstration of India’s displeasure with the breach in London. The police have explained the move as removal of barricades that were “creating hurdles” for commuters. The London Metropolitan Police have provided additional security to ensure safety and peace.
