MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal claimed that while India has actually made note of the UK’s comment yet will certainly consider its genuineness from the activity taken versus the wrongdoers.
“We have conveyed our deep concern to the UK authorities about the breach of security arrangements by UK-based separatist and extremist elements during the EAM’s visit. There is a larger context to the incident. It brings out both the license accorded to such forces, as well as indifference to their intimidation, threats, and other actions aimed at impeding our legitimate diplomatic activities in the UK,” claimed Jaiswal.
He better included, “While we have noted the statement issued by the UK Foreign Office on the matter, our view of its sincerity would depend on the action taken against culprits on this and previous occasions.”
