During a recent trip to London, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar faced a security scare when a supporter of Khalistan rushed towards his car and tore the Indian flag. This happened as Jaishankar was leaving the Chatham House, where he had just finished a discussion.
A video shows the man running aggressively toward Jaishankar’s convoy. The police were initially slow to react, which allowed the protester to rip the flag while others nearby shouted slogans in support of Khalistan. After a short delay, the police stepped in and took the protester and others in his group away.
Outside Chatham House, another video showed a larger group of Khalistan supporters protesting with flags and chanting slogans. Jaishankar was in the UK from March 4 to March 9 for official talks.
During his visit, Jaishankar met with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy. They talked about many important topics, including how both countries could work together on trade, education, and technology.
In his discussion at Chatham House, Jaishankar strongly defended India’s stance on Kashmir. He said that India does not need help from anyone else to resolve the issue. He explained the steps India has taken, like removing Article 370, helping the local economy, and encouraging elections. He pointed out that the main problem is the part of Kashmir that Pakistan controls. “We’re waiting for the return of the part of Kashmir that Pakistan is holding illegally. Once that happens, I promise Kashmir will be resolved,” Jaishankar stated.
