An attack was reported on the Indian Embassy in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, by Khalistan-supporting separatist groups. The incident took place on Thursday, January 22, when a few individuals allegedly entered the embassy premises without permission, carried out an attack, and removed the Indian national flag. The incident has raised serious concern, especially as it involved a diplomatic mission located in a European country. India’s Ministry of External Affairs strongly condemned the attack and described it as an unacceptable act against a sovereign nation’s embassy. In a statement, the ministry said the matter has been taken up with Croatian authorities in both New Delhi and Zagreb, and demanded strict legal action against those responsible. The ministry also said such acts reveal the extremist background of the attackers and will not be tolerated. The attack comes at a sensitive time, as important agreements between India and the European Union are expected to be signed next week, adding to the diplomatic significance of the incident.
