Clashes erupted outside the Indian High Commission in London on Friday evening as Lord Nazir Ahmed, a pro-Pakistan peer in the House of Lords, organised a "black day" protest demanding the freedom of Kashmir and Khalistan, reported Times of India.

The protest, which coincided with India's Republic Day, was aimed at highlighting the "oppression of India", reported ANI.

The protest, which was held outside the Indian High Commission in Central London, turned violent after Ahmed's supporters were countered by many Indian and British groups.
