A peace rally was organized by the Indian-American community members in support of India in front of its consulate in San Francisco that was vandalized by separatist protestors early this week. A group of pro-Khalistan protesters attacked and damaged the Indian Consulate in San Francisco on Sunday.
Raising pro-Khalistan slogans, the protesters broke open the makeshift security barriers raised by the city police and installed two so-called Khalistani flags inside the Consulate premises. Two consulate personnel soon removed these flags.
Scores of Indian-Americans drove from in and around San Francisco and waved the Tricolour to show solidarity with India on Friday. They condemned the destructive activities of separatists, who were also present there in small numbers.
Local police was also present to prevent any untoward incident. There was a large gathering of Indian-Americans who chanted ‘Vande Mataram’ and waved the Indian national flag along with that of the US.
About 4.2 million Indian American/Indian origin people reside in the US. Persons of Indian origin (3.18 million) constitute the third largest Asian ethnic group in the US.
