India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, faced an aggressive protest from Khalistani separatists during his visit to London. A video of the incident has now gone viral, sparking discussions on social media.
According to reports, before Jaishankar could attend an event, a Khalistani supporter suddenly rushed in, tore an Indian flag, and shouted slogans against him. The situation became more tense when a group of separatists followed Jaishankar’s car, trying to question him despite the strict security provided by British police. However, security personnel managed to control the situation before things got worse.

Jaishankar is in London for two days, from March 4 to 5, for important diplomatic meetings. His visit is aimed at strengthening ties between India and the UK, but this incident has once again highlighted the ongoing protests by Khalistani groups against Indian officials abroad.
The video of the attack attempt has spread widely on social media, with many people condemning the act. Indian citizens, political leaders, and social media users have strongly criticized the behavior of the separatists, calling it an insult to India. On the other hand, some Khalistani supporters continue to voice their anti-India stance.
This incident raises concerns over the increasing activities of Khalistani separatists in foreign countries and the security of Indian leaders during international visits. Despite the protests, Jaishankar continued with his diplomatic engagements without disruption.
