‘Indecorous audience behaviour’: Indian mission in UK condemns disruption at CJI Surya Kant's London lecture

The High Commission of India in London has condemned what it describes as "indecorous audience behaviour" following a video from Chief Justice of India's lecture at Birkbeck College, London. The video shows an attendee attempting to raise questions on dissent in India while the programme was underway, but was cut off by the organiser. The High Commission stated that such behaviour is unacceptable and inconsistent with respectful engagement in public discourse. Differences of opinion are natural in a democratic society, but must be expressed in a civil and respectful manner.
