A giant Tricolour has been put up at the Indian High Commission in London, UK, in response to the vandalism by Khalistani sympathisers. Earlier, a huge Indian flag had been put up at the same building, hours after Khalistani supporters pulled down the national flag to protest against the crackdown on Amritpal Singh in Punjab. A photo of the flag on the building went viral on social media.


Now, the video of the new long Tricolour, which has been put up above the previous flag, is being widely shared.



The UK Police has also bolstered security at the Indian High Commission amid a fresh round of protests by Khalistani supporters. According to a report by NDTV, the pro-Khalistan protesters even threw ink and bottles at the London Police.



On Sunday, the pro-Khalistan protestors staged a demonstration in front of the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom, waving Amritpal Singh-themed flags and posters. The supporters created chaos at the Indian High Commission building in London. A man was seen scaling the walls of the Indian High Commission in social media videos while the supporters chanted "Khalistan Zindabad."


In response to the incident, the Ministry of External Affairs summoned the senior-most UK diplomat in New Delhi on Sunday to express India's strong disapproval. The statement said that the Indian government demanded an explanation for the complete absence of British security that allowed these elements to enter the High Commission premises. The UK government was reminded of the basic obligations under the Vienna Convention. The statement added that India finds the indifference of the UK government to the security of Indian diplomatic premises and personnel in the UK unacceptable.


The attack occurred when the Punjab government launched a full-scale offensive against Khalistani radical sympathiser Amritpal Singh. Although the police have captured several of his aides, Amritpal Singh has remained elusive so far. However, his father and lawyer claimed that he has been arrested. Amritpal Singh had become active in Punjab over the past few months.
