India's diplomatic mission in London said on Saturday that Vikram Doraiswami, its High Commissioner to the UK, had been invited to the Sikh temple, or gurdwara, in Scotland's biggest city on Friday to discuss community and consular issues. "The safety and security of foreign diplomats is of utmost importance, and our places of worship in the UK must be open to all," she said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Sikhs in Scotland national advocacy charity added that the diplomat had"remained safely in his car at all times" and that"he chose to drive away from the Gurdwara and did not stay to answer Sikh community's legitimate concerns".
