Foreign affairs minister S Jaishankar on Sunday said this is not an India that will accept its National Flag pulled down. “We have seen incidents in London, Canada, San Francisco, there’s a very small minority, behind that minority there are many interests there is a very small minority but behind the minority, there are many interests. Some interests are of neighbours, all of you know which one…” Jaishankar said. “When we establish embassies abroad, when our diplomats are performing their tasks, we are very clear it is the responsibilities of the country to provide security…if they do not provide security, there will be reactions from India. The day when India would take this lightly, I would say, is behind us. This is not an India that will accept its National Flag pulled down,” Jaishankar said.
“The first thing our high commissioner did was to even get a bigger flag and he put it right up there on the building. It was not only a statement to those so-called Khalistanis, but it was also a statement to the British saying that this is my flag and I will make it even bigger if somebody tries to disrespect it,” Jaishankar said.
