UK Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan expressed concern after Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami was prevented from entering a Gurudwara in Glasgow. In a tweet, Trevelyan said the safety of foreign diplomats is paramount and UK places of worship must be accessible to all. According to India's High Commission, the incident involved individuals from outside Scotland deliberately disrupting a planned event. The High Commissioner left shortly after arriving to avoid any confrontation. The Indian High Commission termed it a "disgraceful incident" and said it has informed UK authorities. The incident comes amidst tensions over the targeting of Indian diplomats in Canada.
