In the protest that was held after the Punjab cops started the operation to arrest separatist leader Amritpal Singh, a pro-Khalistan protestor in London climbed the High Commission of India's balcony and pulled down the Indian flag.

On March 19, a pro-Khalistan protestor climbed the High Commission of India's balcony and pulled down the Indian flag. The incident led to an outpouring of support from the diverse Indian community settled in Britain.

India had slammed the incident and said that it was the obligation of the receiving country to provide security for "a diplomat to do their work" and to ensure embassy or "high commissions' premises are respected." "We have had conversations with the British govt on this," External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said.

"Many countries have a different view of their own security and a different view of other people's security. We'll not accept this differential status," he added.
