Amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between Canada and India over the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, an Indian envoy was denied entry to Gurdwara Albert in Glasgow.
Sikh men, protesting the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, confronted the Indian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vikram Doraiswami, after which he left the Gurdwara premises.

There has been a ban on Indian officials from visiting Gurdwaras in their official capacity after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in Nijjar’s killing.
