India-Canada Row: After the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, tension between Canada and India is increasing. Its effect is now visible in Glasgow, Scotland.
Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Vikram Doraiswami was stopped from entering a Gurudwara in Glasgow on September 29. According to sources, Indian High Commissioner to Britain Vikram Doraiswami decided to leave instead of getting into the debate. The issue has also been raised with the UK Foreign Office and police.
In a video posted on the Instagram channel of 'Sikh Youth UK', a man allegedly supporting Khalistan can be seen stopping Doraiswamy from entering the Glasgow Gurudwara on Albert Drive. At present, there has been no formal reaction from the Indian High Commission in London and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the incident.
Claim of 'Sikh Youth UK'
In the video, a person can be heard saying 'Sikhs are being harmed in Canada and other places, every Sikh should protest against any Indian ambassador like we did today here in Glasgow.'
'Sikh Youth UK' claims that Indian officials are officially banned from visiting the Gurdwara. According to the video, two people are standing near the High Commissioner's car in the parking lot and one of them is trying to open the car door. In the purported video, the High Commissioner's car was seen leaving the Gurudwara complex.

Khalistani supporter's open challenge
In the video, another person is speaking on camera that any Indian ambassador or any Indian government official visiting the Gurudwara will be given similar treatment. Khalistani supporter said in the video, 'We know what games they are playing, what is happening in Canada. The Canadian PM has openly condemned India and expelled Indian diplomats.
What is the whole matter?
According to news agency ANI, a pro-Khalistan activist said that the Indian High Commissioner was to hold a meeting with the Gurudwara Committee of the Glasgow Gurdwara on Albert Drive. Some people did not welcome him and he left from there. Meanwhile, there was a slight altercation. The Khalistan supporter said that I do not think the Gurdwara Committee is very happy with what happened, but Indian officials are not welcome in any Gurdwara in Britain.
'Fed up with the collusion between Britain and India...'
The Khalistan supporter said, 'We are fed up with the collusion between Britain and India.' British Sikhs are being targeted due to recent tensions following the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. It is also related to Avtar Singh Khanda and Jagtar Singh Johal.
