The issue of vandalism by pro-Khalistan extremists at the Indian High Commission in London on Thursday was raised in the British House of Commons. The British MPs demanded action against Khalistani hooligans and the safety of India’s diplomatic staff. Conservative Party MP Bob Blackman called for a debate in the Parliament to discuss steps to ban groups behind the violence, while the Opposition Labour Party MP Gareth Thomas asked the Leader of the House of Commons about the steps being taken to ensure there is no repeat of such behaviour in future.
The Cabinet Minister addressing the Business of the House, Penny Mordaunt, responded by reiterating Foreign Secretary James Cleverly earlier statement announcing a review of the protection measures around the Indian mission. Mordaunt told the MPs that they strongly condemn the vandalism and violent acts that took place outside the Indian High Commission in London. He termed it a completely unacceptable action against the High Commission and its staff and termed the actions of Khalistani hooligans outside the Indian High Commission on Sunday a disgrace to Britain.
