Delhi Police Removes Barricades Outside British Embassy
The Delhi Police has removed extra barricades outside the British embassy in Delhi, days after the Khalistani activists and supporters pulled down the Indian flag at the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom.
Official statements
According to the police, the barricades were created as the handles for the commuters but the security of the British embassy is intact.
Speaking to the media, a senior police officer said, “The security arrangements outside the British High Commission here are intact. However, barricades placed on the pathway towards the commission that created hurdles for commuters have been removed.”
This move comes after India condemns the ‘unacceptable act’ of pulling down the tricolour and the displeasure over the lack of security at the Indian embassy in London.
Amid the ongoing protest, a spokesperson of the British embassy said, “We do not comment on security matters.”
Moreover, India had summoned the UK senior-most diplomat and demanded an explanation for the ‘absence of security.’ According to the officials, the British government will take the security of the Indian embassy “seriously”, as they condemned as “disgraceful” and “completely unacceptable” the vandalism by pro-Khalistani protesters waving separatist Khalistani flags.
Security tightens
On Wednesday, security was tightened and barricading was done outside the Indian embassy due to a planned demonstration called by some British Sikh groups. Also, the London police conducted a patrol march outside.
Several groups like the Federation of Sikh Organizations (FSO) and Sikh Youth Jathebandia organized banners as National Protest, which have been circulated on social media.
