The Indian Embassy condemned the attack
The Indian Embassy in Washington DC condemned the attack. The Indian Embassy said in a statement that “we witnessed disturbing scenes of abuse, intimidation and physical assault against a veteran Indian journalist from the Press Trust of India while covering the self -called “Khalistan protests” in Washington DC. The journalist was first verbally threatened, then physically assaulted and fearing for her personal safety and well-being, she had to call law enforcement, who responded quickly. The Indian Embassy said that “we condemn such a serious and unjustified attack on a veteran journalist. Such activities show the violent and anti-social nature of the so-called “Khalist protesters” and their supporters, who continue to engage in violence and vandalism.

The journalist refrained from taking action against the attackers
Jha said, however, Secret Service officials arrived on the scene and dealt with the situation from the uproar of protesters.
