James Cleverly: British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has said the attacks on Indian diplomats in the UK are unacceptable. He was reacting to posters put up Khalistani supporters asking for attacks on Indian diplomats.
Safety is paramount
“Any direct attacks on the Indian High Commission in London are completely unacceptable,” tweeted Cleverly on Thursday. The Foreign Secretary also tweeted that he had spoken to the Indian High Commissioner V Doraiswamy that the safety of the Indian diplomats is paramount.
Khalistani elements in the US, UK, Australia and Canada have put up posters on Twitter calling for a ‘Khalistan Freedom Rally’ on July 8. These posters also asked their supporters to attack Indian diplomats to avenge the killings of terrorists like Harjeet Singh Nijjar.
It is noteworthy that Khalistani elements had taken down the Indian flag at the Indian High Commission in London in March this year. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar condemned the incident and asked the UK government to protect the High Commission building.
“Snakes are hissing”
Cleverly’s comments came hours after a Canadian MP condemned the ‘Khalistan Freedom Rally.’ Chandra Arya, a Canadian MP of Indian origin said, “Khalistanis in Canada continue to reach new low in abusing our Charter of Rights and Freedom by promoting violence and hate.”
Arya also said, “While it is good to see Canadian authorities are noticing, we should note the snakes in our backyard are raising their heads and hissing.”
Last month. Khalistanis in Brampton, Canada had put up a tableau celebrating the assassination of former prime minister Indira Gandhi. Reacting to the tableau, Arya said, “Emboldened by non-criticism from elected officials of a recent Brampton parade portraying and celebrating the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her bodyguards, they are now openly calling for violence against India diplomats.”
