New Delhi, Mar. 6: India on Thursday condemned a security breach incident during External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s trip to the UK, saying it deplored “the misuse of democratic freedom by such elements”.
According to a purported video of the incident circulating on social media platform X, a man with the tricolour is seen rushing towards the car in which Jaishankar is seated. A group of protesters with pro-Khalistan flags can be seen shouting slogans even as the policemen stationed at the spot block the man and take him away.
“We have seen the footage of a breach of security during the visit of the external affairs minister to the UK,” Randhir Jaiswal, the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, said. “We condemn the provocative activities of this small group of separatists and extremists,” he added.
“We deplore the misuse of democratic freedom by such elements. We expect the host government in such cases to fully live up to their diplomatic obligations,” Jaiswal further said.
