The connection between New Delhi and Ottawa is under new strain. India has descended intensely on Canada for being excessively indulgent towards Khalistan allies with the end goal of votes. However, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, stated that his nation has always taken violence threats “extremely seriously.”
All he portrayed Canada as an “very different nation,” and expressed that his nation would battle viciousness and fanaticism in its structures.
His remarks came after India summoned Canada’s High Commissioner in New Delhi over propaganda material that was distributed in Canada and served as a protest to the Justin Trudeau government, including posters with threats to Indian diplomats.
The Canadian prime minister was questioned about a parade float depicting the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi at a rally in Brampton and “Kill India” posters put up by Khalistan supporters during a media interaction.
Answering claims that his administration is delicate on Khalistan allies for electing objectives, Trudeau said, “They are off-base. Canada has consistently viewed very in a serious way brutality and dangers of viciousness. We have always and will continue to take serious action against terrorism.
“We have a diverse country and freedom of speech is something we have. However, we will always make sure that we are opposing violence and radicalism in all its forms,” he said.
The center has summoned the Canadian ambassador and issued a protest regarding the growing number of pro-Khalistani activities in Canada. This Saturday, Khalistan supporters have planned demonstrations in front of Indian missions in Canada.
Ensuring the Safety of Indian Diplomats
India expressed concerns on Monday about threats to its diplomats participating in protests in Canada with information on a pro-Khalistan event scheduled for 8 July. On the posters, someone wrote threats against the person who represents India in Canada and the person who represents India in Toronto.
Sikh fanatics supposedly coursed banners denouncing Indian High Magistrate to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma and Department General of India, Toronto, Apoorva Srivastava of assuming a part in the June killing of Khalistan Tiger Power boss and assigned psychological militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
In memory of Harjit Singh Nijjar, also known as Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist who was killed in a targeted shooting on June 18 in Surrey, Canada, the demonstration is being held.
Melanie Joly, who is in charge of Canada’s relations with other countries, talked about how Canada follows the Vienna Conventions. She said, “Canada is very committed to following the Vienna Conventions to keep diplomats safe. “
Canada is keeping in touch with Indian authorities regarding some promotional content on the internet about a protest planned for July 8th, which is not acceptable. She also mentioned that the actions of a few individuals do not represent the entire community or Canada.
‘Vote bank politics’
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the Canadian government and said they seem to prioritize pleasing specific groups of voters over their relationship with us, which has negatively affected our ties with them.
Canada’s handling of the Khalistani issue has been a long-held concern for us because it appears that they are influenced by political considerations related to winning votes. “They have limited their responses because of the voting preferences they need to consider,” he said.
“The minister said that we made it very clear that if Canada does something that affects our control, land boundaries, and safety, we will have to do something about it. ” These actions have caused problems in the relationship between our countries recently.
Canada has told India that its diplomats will be safe, even though there is a planned rally by supporters of the Khalistani movement and posters threatening Indian officials.
Recently, Khalistani groups have been causing more trouble in Canada, the UK, the US, and Australia. They have been damaging Indian embassies and temples as well.
