India blasts UK as national flag pulled down in London

BLOOMBERG

India lodged a formal protest with the British High Commission in New Delhi after a Sikh separatist sympathizer pulled down the national flag outside its embassy in London.
Local media in India tweeted video footage that showed the man pulling down the Indian tricolour. He then briefly waved the orange flag of the so-called Khalistan movement, which fought for a creation of an independent state for followers of the Sikh faith in Punjab in the 1980s and early 1990s.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs summoned the British deputy high commissioner and demanded an explanation for the complete absence of “security that allowed these elements to enter the High Commission premises.”
The British High Commissioner to New Delhi, Alex Ellis, later condemned the action at the Indian embassy.
