People of India and Pakistan face to face in London over Pahalgam attack, sloganeering outside the High Commission:

News Topical,Digital Desk : Protests over Pahalgam attack continue in London. A large number of Indian community and expatriate representatives descended on the Indian High Commission in London to counter the Pakistani protest which was branded as "Indian propaganda" in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.

Chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' and waving the Indian tricolour, the pro-India protesters outnumbered the small group of British Pakistanis across the road in front of India House on Sunday evening.

Police were also present

The pro-India protesters outnumbered the small group of British Pakistanis across the street from India House on Sunday evening. The Metropolitan Police was also present to ensure that the two groups kept their distance from each other while hurling derogatory comments at each other.

Later, a candlelight vigil was held at Piccadilly Circus by British Indian groups to remember the victims of the April 22 terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Similar 'All Eyes on Pahalgam' protests and vigils have been organised by Indian diaspora groups in various parts of the UK, including Manchester, Edinburgh in Scotland and Belfast in Northern Ireland, to condemn Pakistan's alleged support to terror organisations.

'Presenting a united front against terrorism'

Community group Insight UK said it "aims to present a united front against terrorism." Sunday's protest follows a protest by Indian diaspora organisations outside the Pakistan High Commission in the British capital on Friday, which was met with a counter protest by British Pakistanis supported by mission officials.
