We understand that the actions of a couple of do not promote a whole neighborhood or Canada.”
On Monday, external affairs minister S Jaishankar speaking with press reporters on the sidelines of a program in Delhi, said that India has actually asked for partner nations like Canada, the UK, and Australia not to offer space to Khalistanis as these extreme extremist ideologies are bad for their relationship.
When inquired about reports of posters in Canada identifying Indian diplomats, Jaishankar said, “We have actually requested our partner nations, like Canada, UK, Australia, United States that they need to not offer space to these Khalistanis. These extreme extremist ideologies aren’t helpful for us, them, or our ties. Will raise the concern of these posters.”
Earlier this month, a tableau parade was arranged in Ontario commemorating the assassination of previous PM Indira Gandhi, which drew extreme criticism from New Delhi.
In March this year, Khalistan advocates objected outside the Indian Embassy in Canada. They raised pro-Khalistan mottos and presumably attacked Indian-origin reporters present on the area.
