A group of Khalistani protesters attempted to disrupt the visit of India’s External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar in London, with a demonstration outside Chatham House escalating into a security breach.
As Jaishankar was departing the venue after a discussion, a protester ran towards his convoy and tore the Indian national flag in front of police officers.
A video of the incident, widely circulated online, shows the man aggressively approaching the minister’s car while law enforcement appeared momentarily hesitant before intervening. The individual was later taken into custody along with others involved in the protest.
Another video from the demonstration shows Khalistani supporters gathered outside Chatham House, waving flags and chanting slogans.
The incident occurred during Jaishankar’s official visit to the United Kingdom, which runs from March 4 to 9.
During his stay, he engaged in discussions at Chevening House with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, focusing on bilateral relations, trade negotiations, strategic coordination, and people-to-people exchanges.
