Khalistani extremists attempted to heckle and attack External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday as he was leaving in a car after attending an event at the Chatham House think tank in London.

Supporters of the Pro-Khalistan movement had organised a protest outside the venue.

A video circulating online shows a man approaching Jaishankar's car and tearing the Indian national flag in front of London police officers, who appeared to remain unresponsive to the act of vandalism.

Jaishankar is currently on an official visit to the United Kingdom and Ireland from March 4 to 9 to strengthen India's diplomatic ties with both nations.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
