Expressing concerns about the Khalistani separatists' attack on the Indian High Commission in London, Lord Rami Ranger, a member of the House of Lords of the UK Parliament, on Wednesday wrote a letter to Suella Braverman, Home Secretary UK and said that these unlawful activities affect Britain's reputation worldwide and damage their fragile race relations.

He said that Britain is a multicultural nation and must take any breach very seriously where anyone tries to use race or religion to shatter harmony.

He emphasised, "The incident shocked everyone, especially the Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom. The attack was not just on Indian sovereignty but also on Britain's law and order."

He iterated, "Sadly, this was not the first time such an incident occurred and may not be the last time unless a clear message is sent to all who think they can get away with such unruly acts and behave lawlessly with impunity. Our ability to provide safety and security to foreign diplomats must be a top priority, as such actions adversely affect our relationships with the concerned country."

He urged the government to send a clear signal that Britain has zero tolerance when it came to anyone protesting in other than a peaceful and orderly manner and added that Britain is a multicultural nation and must take any breach very seriously where anyone tries to use race or religion to shatter our harmony.

He urged the government to, "Please set examples by bringing the culprits to justice."
