The incident comes months after the Indian High Commission in London was attacked by pro-Khalistani forces. The United Kingdom has assured of necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of the Indian High Commission in London and its staff. “Let me be very clear about this. This is not an Indian problem in the UK. Whenever there is radicalisation in the UK of UK citizens, this is a British problem. And so any attempt to radicalise any UK citizen in any direction will be dealt with by the British government,” British Security Minister Tom Tugendhat said.
A group of Khalistan radicals stopped Indian high commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami from entering a gurdwara in Scotland on Friday. The Indian diplomat was stopped outside Glasgow Gurdwara on Albert Drive. Vikram Doraiswami reportedly had a meeting planned with the gurdwara committee.

While the UK has acknowledged India’s concerns over Khalistan radicals in that country, Canada continues to provide safe havens to these anti-nationals.
Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that “agents of Delhi” were involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who is also a Canadian citizen. India has outrightly rejected the claims, calling it ‘absurd’ and ‘motivated’.
