These protests are to distract India from growing,&#8221; Mr Surana told NDTV today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saved the dignity of my country. But there are many instances when Indians go outside and become anti-India to be cool. They talk ill about India without any knowledge, just to show they are nice people among those who hate India,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Surana asked Indians to keep watch on &#8220;such elements&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is upon us to keep an eye on these elements. It is important to answer them intellectually, not physically,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Khalistani protesters were on Monday cordoned off on either side of the street from the Indian High Commission in London. A group of protesters, however, breached the barricades and crossed over to the side of the building with an Indian flag and a bottle of what they called &#8220;cow urine&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Khalistani supporters claimed they were protesting over the killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Satyam&#8217;s video where he is seen picking up the national flag from the ground went viral when former Adviser to the UK government Colin Bloom posted a video \u00a0on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian High Commission said it reported the incident to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Metropolitan Police.<\/p>\n<p>It said multiple community organisations, including the organisers, have formally regretted the incident and have urged the authorities to take action against the culprits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/world-news\/some-are-anti-india-just-to-be-cool-says-indian-student-satyam-surana-who-picked-up-fallen-flag-in-uk-4456415\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Satyam Surana was seen on camera picking up the national flag during a protest by Khalistanis London\/New Delhi: An Indian student who picked up the national flag that had fallen on the ground during a protest by Khalistanis in London has slammed what he called the tendency of some Indians abroad to be anti-India [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":376650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[419329,98191,446354],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376649"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haftavasool.com\/haftavasool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
