Jaishankar's visit to the UK, part of his official tour from March 4 to 9, aims to provide renewed momentum to India's engagement with both the UK and Ireland.

Jaishankar security breach

A pro-Khalistani protester had attempted to break barricades while others shouted anti-India slogans when S Jaishankar was leaving Chatham House, home to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, after an interactive session on Wednesday. One of the protestors also tore the Indian flag. Several videos of the incident were shared on the social media.

Making its displeasure known, the Ministry of External Affairs had issued a statement on Thursday, in which it said that it expects the host government to live up to its diplomatic obligations in such cases and slammed the "misuse of democratic freedoms" by Khalistani elements.

Condemning the incident, the British foreign ministry had also said that attempts to disrupt public events were unacceptable.
