UK Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch on Friday mentioned the assault on the Indian High Commission in London by pro-Khalistani parts in March was a “disgrace, and the British government will do everything to ensure people feel safe and secure.

She said this in response to a remark by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal that the UK has a very large Indian population, and still the Indian High Commission was not feeling very safe.

“In any nation regardless of how a lot of a world superpower there’ll at all times be issues and within the UK one of the fascinating issues, and I say this as one of many immigrants to the nation, is that numerous the instances folks do not combine the best way we wish them to and so they convey issues and the identical damaging attitudes and the identical points from wherever they arrive from and produce it to the UK,” she said.

In March, the tricolour flying atop the Indian High Commission in London was pulled down by a group of protesters waving separatist Khalistani flags and chanting pro-Khalistani slogans.

“I personally thought that what occurred and I communicate on behalf of the UK authorities not simply personally, what occurred on the Indian High Commission was a shame,” Badenoch mentioned.

Mr Goyal was moderating a ‘commerce ministers session’ at B20 Summit India 2023, during which Badenoch and a number of other different commerce ministers participated.
