Windows at India's High Commission in London and at the Consulate General of India in San Francisco were smashed during separate demonstrations by Sikh protesters, police in both cities said Monday.
London's Metropolitan Police force said a man was arrested Sunday afternoon on suspicion of violent disorder outside the diplomatic mission, where two security guards were slightly injured. In San Francisco, dozens of protesters gathered outside the consulate and smashed windows with their flagpoles after a skirmish with embassy workers, a protester said.
A San Francisco Police vehicle parks outside of the Consulate General of India in San Francisco, Monday, March 20, 2023. San Francisco police had erected barriers and parked a vehicle nearby as people protested outside the Consulate General of India to protest the capture of Amritpal Singh."We certainly condemn that vandalism," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Monday during a briefing.
In San Francisco, police officers arrived at the Consulate General on Sunday afternoon to find shattered glass windows. Workers described protesters trying to enter the building, Rueca said. He didn't immediately provide additional details on how the confrontation began. A worker then pushed a protester, cursed him and said"don't put your dirty flag here," said Veer Singh, another protester who saw the confrontation. That led protesters to begin using their flagpoles to smash in the windows, Gurpreet Singh said.The Consul General of India in San Francisco did not respond to an emailed inquiry for comment.
"India finds unacceptable the indifference of the U.K. government to the security of Indian diplomatic premises and personnel in the U.K.," the Indian government said in a statement.
