Indian-origin Journalist Attacked by Khalistan Supporters in the US
An Indian-origin journalist residing in Washington, USA, was physically attacked and verbally abused while covering a pro-Khalistan protest. While the journalist decided not to take any action against the protestors, the Indian embassy in the US condemned the incident.
The incident took place last weekend outside the Indian embassy in the US where Khalistan supporters were protesting. An Indian-origin journalist residing in Washington named Lalit Jha was covering the protest when some of the protestors physically attacked and verbally abused him. According to reports, he got hit on his left ear with two sticks.
Talking to ANI, Jha reportedly said, “The pro-Khalistan protesters in support of Amritpal (Singh) waved Khalistan flags and descended upon the embassy in the presence of the US Secret Service. They even openly threatened to vandalize the embassy and threatened the Indian Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu.”
The protestors gathered from different parts of the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) area. They were using microphones to make anti-India speeches both in English and Punjabi.
