Bharat Strongly Protests Khalistan Slogans Raised at Event Being Addressed by PM Justin Trudeau
New Delhi. Bharat strongly protested Khalistan slogans raised at a public event in Canada, which was being personally addressed by the Prime Minister of Canada.
In this regard, the Ministry of External Affairs, summoned the Canadian Deputy High Commissioner in New Delhi. The Ministry said, Bharat’s deep concern and strong protest was conveyed at such disturbing actions being allowed to continue unchecked at the event.
It said, this illustrates once again the political space that has been given in Canada to separatism, extremism and violence. Their continued expressions not only impact Bharat-Canada relations but also encourage a climate of violence and criminality in Canada to the detriment of its own citizens.
Amid loud pro-Khalistan chants, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the Sikh Community on Sunday in Toronto.
Thousands of Sikhs flocked to downtown Toronto on Khalsa day for one of the biggest yearly gatherings in the city.
Trudeau’s remarks come at a time when the diplomatic relations between Bharat and Canada are going through a difficult phase after the death of Bharat-designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar sparked a row between Bharat and Canada.
