Khalistanis insult Indian Flag in London, threat to Indian officials, still Indian-origin PM Rishi Sunak is silent

The manner in which Khalistani supporters entered the UK-based Indian High Commission on Sunday and took down the tricolor and hoisted their flag, that incident has raised India’s concerns. So far, no official statement has come from Indian-origin British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on this whole incident. Britain’s Ambassador to India Alex Ellis definitely condemned it and said that such incidents will not be tolerated at all. But everyone in India is waiting for PM Sunak’s response. It is believed that the UK will have to bear the consequences of this incident. India believes that this issue is a big case of lapse in security. On behalf of the Government of India, a protest has been lodged in front of Alice.

Deteriorating relationship
Whatever has happened in the High Commission of India on Sunday is very frightening. Foreign affairs expert Brahma Chellani has tweeted on this. He has written that it is very sad that despite having an Indian-origin PM, India’s relations with the UK are getting worse. He says that whatever happens the UK cannot escape the fact that it is guilty of what happened at the Indian High Commission. British Ambassador Alex Ellis strongly condemned the incident as soon as it came to the fore. He said that such an incident will not be accepted at all.

It is ironic that under an Indian-origin PM, UK's ties with India continue to take a hit, even as Modi has bent over backward to build closer ties with UK, including fast-tracking FTA negotiations. UK cannot escape culpability in Indian mission's storming. pic.twitter.com/ovAVTHj2hs

No security at the High Commission!
There was absolutely no security outside the High Commission and because of this only these Khalistani have been able to enter inside the High Commission. But the video of this new development is being considered as a befitting reply from India to the Khalistanis and their supporters. Along with this, it has been made clear from the Indian side that it will not bow down to these Khalistanis under any circumstances.

Apart from the Vienna Convention, India has termed this incident as a violation of international laws. Along with this, it has also been said that this whole matter is related to lack of security. The video that has come on social media is of a little more than a minute. It is clearly visible in this video that the police is not present anywhere near the High Commission.

UK will have to bear the consequences
Many experts believe that the UK government will have to bear the serious consequences of this incident. If sources are to be believed, whatever happened on Sunday, Avtar Singh Khanda is behind it. It was Khanda who gathered the Sikh students to be held on Sunday. It is being told that the Indian government was warned about the soft attitude of the UK on the Khalistani supporters. But even after this no step has been taken. On behalf of the Ministry of External Affairs of India, a strong step was taken against this incident and the ambassador of UK was summoned. At the same time, a message has also been given to the UK government from the High Commission in London.

Keeping an eye on Sunak government’s action
The eyes of the Government of India are now on what action the Sunak government takes on this whole matter. The UK government and the intelligence agency MI-5 were warned by the Modi government that Khalistani supporters were plotting something big in March. But even after this the government there did nothing. On March 22 also, an anti-India protest is going to be held in London by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). The protest will be led by Sikh extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. Due to poor policies, SFJ has strengthened its feet. SFJ is also engaged in collecting funds outside UK Gurdwaras. The silence of the Sunak government may cost it dearly in the times to come.
