Notably, on March 19, a pro-Khalistan protester in London scaled the balcony of the Indian High Commission and removed the Indian flag. 

On social media, a video of the event went viral. The Khalistani protester can be seen on the balcony attempting to lower the Indian flag in the then-viral footage. Another man enters the balcony from inside to stop more damage to the flag towards the end of the film.

The Indian community protested the "disrespectful act" of supporters of Khalistan towards the Indian flag on March 19 in front of the Indian High Commission in London, and they demanded that London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the British government take swift action against the offenders.
