The Indian government has raised the issue with the UK Foreign Office over an incident where Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami was barred from entering a gurdwara in Scotland by radical British Sikh activists. Doraiswami was told he was "not welcome" when attempting to visit the gurdwara in Glasgow amid tensions over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Police were alerted when activists blocked the envoy's planned meeting with gurdwara organizers, who tried to ensure his safety. The incident came amid a massive diplomatic row between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
