Days after thousands of British-Pakistani groups vandalized Indian High Commission building in London as part of their protest against revoke of Article 370, noted British columnist Katie Hopkins lashed out at Pakistan-origin London Mayor Sadiq Khan over the mess that was created by the protesters.
The violent protesters pelted stones, eggs, and shattered windows of the building and also damaged the premises of the embassy.
Katie Hopkins released two videos on Twitter walking outside the Indian embassy showing the devastated premises and gates of which are covered with eggs and other garbage.
The Indian Embassy in London – one of our greatest allies – is a filthy mess of eggs and vandalised windows at the hands of Pakistani protesters in the U.K.
Is the Muslim Mayor of London enabling this behaviour?
Why has this not been cleaned up?
Deeply shaming for Britain pic.twitter.com/GrH1bRwjdH
