India has asked its partner countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States not to give space to "extremist Khalistani ideology" as it is "not good" for bilateral relations.
Indian consulate in San Francisco set on fire by Khalistani extremists
The Indian consulate in San Francisco was again attacked by Khalistani extremists on July 2. In the second attack within five months, the extremists briefly set the consulate on fire, before it was promptly suppressed by the San Francisco Fire Department.
The incident drew condemnation from the US State Department.
Matthew Miller, the spokesperson for the US State Department, condemned the attack and tweeted that attacking a diplomatic facility in the US was a criminal offence.
“The US strongly condemns the reported vandalism and attempted arson against the Indian Consulate in San Francisco on Saturday. Vandalism or violence against diplomatic facilities or foreign diplomats in the US is a criminal offence,” he wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, on March 19, in a similar attack, a group of pro-Khalistan protesters damaged the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.
This resulted in severe criticism from both the Indian government and the Indian-American community.
The protesters, chanting pro-Khalistan slogans, breached the makeshift security barriers set up by the local police and proceeded to place two Khalistani flags inside the Consulate premises. The flags were removed by two consulate personnel soon.
