A large number of Indian community and diaspora representatives descended upon the High Commission of India in London to counter a Pakistani demonstration that was called to protest against what was branded as \u201cIndian propaganda\u201d in wake of the Pahalgam terror attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chanting \u201cBharat Mata ki Jai\u201d and \u201cVande Mataram\u201d and waving the Indian Tricolour, the pro-Indian demonstrators outnumbered the smaller group of British Pakistanis across the road from India House on Sunday (April 28, 2025) evening.<\/p>\n

There was significant Metropolitan Police presence, with officers on guard to ensure both groups were kept far apart as they hurled insults at each other.<\/p>\n

Later, there was a candlelight vigil at Piccadilly Circus by the British Indian groups to commemorate the victims of the April 22 terror attack that claimed 26 lives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Similar \u201cAll Eyes on Pahalgam\u201d protests and vigils have been organised by Indian diaspora groups in different parts of the UK, including Manchester, Edinburgh in Scotland and Belfast in Northern Ireland, to condemn Pakistan\u2019s alleged support for terror outfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim is to present a united front against terrorism,\u201d said community group Insight U.K..<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s (April 27, 2025) protest follows one called by Indian diaspora organisations outside the Pakistan High Commission in the UK capital on Friday that witnessed a counter-protest by British Pakistanis, backed up by mission officials.<\/p>\n

In a video that became widely circulated on social media, a Pakistani official was caught on camera making a threatening throat-slitting gesture towards the Indian protesters outside the building. <\/p>\n
