By Amit Bhardwaj: Members of the Sikh community gathered outside the UK High Commission in New Delhi as they staged a protest over vandalism at the Indian Mission in London by pro-Khalistan supporters.
The security at the UK Mission was beefed up ahead of the planned protest by the Sikh community in the national capital. The agitators expressed anger over the pro-Khalistan supporters grabbing the Tricolour flying atop the Indian High Commission in London and waving separatist Khalistani flags and chanting pro-Khalistan slogans on Sunday.
Speaking to India Today, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa appealed to the international Sikh community to stand up against such “anti-India” incidents.
“Appeal to the international Sikh community to stand against Khalistani elements and against such anti-India events,” Manjinder Singh Sirsa said on Monday.
