An explanation was sought for the complete absence of British security that had allowed these elements to enter the High Commission compound. India regards the UK Government’s apathy towards the security of Indian diplomatic premises and personnel in the UK as unacceptable.
Calling for “immediate steps” from the UK government, the official press release from the Ministry of External Affairs said, “It is expected that the UK government will continue to identify, arrest and prosecute each and every person involved in today’s incident.” Will take immediate steps and put him in place. Stringent measures should be taken to prevent recurrence of such incidents.”
The British High Commissioner also said – it is humiliating
British High Commissioner Alex Ellis today condemned the attack on the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom. He condemned the “disgraceful acts” and termed it as completely unacceptable. British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis tweeted, “I condemn today’s shameful acts against the people and premises of the Indian High Commission – this is completely unacceptable.”
