"Disgraceful": India After Diplomats Stopped From Entering UK Gurdwara

The Indian High Commission has said that the "extremist elements" also abused the organisers, including a member of the Scottish Parliament.
In a strong statement on the Indian High Commissioner and Consul General being blocked from entering a gurdwara in Scotland, India has termed the incident "disgraceful" and said that the matter has been reported to the UK government as well as the police.
A purported video going viral on social media shows a man preventing the Indian High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, from entering the gurdwara in Glasgow on Friday. Two men are also seen attempting to open the door of the High Commissioner's car in the parking area, but are unsuccessful as the vehicle is locked. The car is then seen leaving the premises of the gurdwara.
The incident comes amid the snowballing diplomatic row between India and Canada, which was triggered by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accusing "Indian government agents" of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
