India conveyed its strong protest in a meeting with the US Charge d’Affaires in Delhi after Khalistani supporters vandalized the Indian Consulate General in San Francisco.
“The US government was reminded of its basic obligation to protect and secure diplomatic representation. It was asked to take appropriate measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents,” India said in a statement.
“Our Embassy in Washington D.C. also conveyed our concerns to the US State Department along similar lines,” it added.
Videos of a huge crowd attacking the Indian Consulate in the US’s San Francisco as Punjabi music blared in the background surfaced online hours after Khalistani supporters pulled down the Tricolour at the Indian High Commission building in London.
A huge graffiti that read “Free Amritpal” was spray-painted on the outer wall of the San Francisco building.
Khalistani elements vandalized the Indian High Commission in the UK as well in a similar way.
