Many countries have different views on their security and the security of others - Foreign Minister

External Affair Minister Dr.Jaishankar said, "many countries have a different view of their own security & a different view of other people's security," on being asked about the security of Indian Missions following vandalism at Indian High Commission in UK.

At BJYM Yuva Samvada event in Bengaluru EAM Dr S Jaishankar said, "it's the obligation of the receiving country to provide security for a diplomat to do their work, to ensure embassy or high commissions's premises are respected. These obligations were not met. We have had conversations with the British govt on this".

"Many countries have a different view of their own security & a different view of other people's security. We'll not accept this differential status" EAM Dr.S.Jaishankar said.

Meanwhile Indian MEA has issued statement saying, "Authorities in Punjab are undertaking operations to nab a fugitive. Information regarding that operation is being shared by authorities concerned in Punjab on a regular basis. We would urge people abroad not to be taken in by inaccurate & motivated narratives that are being circulated by some elements on social media".

At least in London & San Francisco, we have strongly taken up the matter of vandalisation. You would have also seen the statements that we have put out in this regard. We expect that host Govts will take action to identify & prosecute all those involved and also take necessary actions to prevent the recurrence of such incidents", MEA spoksperson said.
