National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is likely to meet his UK counterpart Tim Barrow in the national capital today. This meeting between the two is the second for this year as earlier the two had an informal meeting on March 30. The high-profile meeting comes months after attacks and protests at Indian High Commission in London. Recently, posters of a pro-Khalistan rally in London emerged which received backlash from top diplomats.
The posters contained threats to the Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami and Shashank Vikram, Consul General of India, Birmingham. Posters containing threats to Indian diplomats are being circulated in Canada also. The posters purportedly circulated by Sikh extremists have named Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma and the Consulate General of India, Toronto, Apoorva Srivastava.
UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on Thursday said that any direct attacks on Indian High Commission in London are "completely unacceptable." He said the UK has made clear to the High Commissioner of India to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami and the Indian government that the safety of staff at the High Commission is paramount.
In response to recent incidents of several posters inciting violence against Indian diplomats and the diplomatic premises, the Ministry of External Affairs has said that it is "unacceptable" and India condemns them in the strongest terms, news agency ANI reported.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday told reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Delhi that India has requested partner countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia not to give space to Khalistanis as these radical extremist ideologies are not good for the bilateral relationship, as reported by ANI.
Earlier, on March 19, a pro-Khalistan protestor in London climbed the High Commission of India's balcony and pulled down the Indian flag. India had registered a strong protest over the matter while urging the UK authorities to take appropriate action against those involved in the act.
