'Don't glorify violence', India's Trudeau government again reprimanded, anti-India slogans raised in 'Nagar Kirtan' parade
India Canada Row: The Central Government has called upon the Justin Trudeau government not to allow criminal and separatist elements to enter Canada. After Sunday's parade of Khalistan supporters in Malton, Ontario, Canada, the Indian government on Tuesday registered its strong protest, saying that the city kirtan parade has taken a very controversial form.
India and Canada are experiencing growing levels of tension daily. The government of Canada has been accused by India of encouraging violence and allowing it to be freely glorified.
Calls have been made by the national government to the Justin Trudeau administration to prevent criminal and separatist elements from entering Canada. Following the supporters of the Khalistan parade in Malton, Ontario, Canada on Sunday, the Indian government announced on Tuesday that it was deeply disapproving, claiming that the "Nagar Kirtan" parade had taken on an extremely contentious shape.
Also asked the Trudeau government not to give political asylum and safe haven in Canada to criminal and separatist elements. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is still concerned about the safety of its diplomatic representatives in Canada. India expects Canada to ensure that it can fulfill its responsibilities without fear.
He said that we have repeatedly expressed our concern about the images of violence being shown in demonstrations by radical elements in Canada. In their processions, they decorate the tableau of assassinating our former Prime Minister. Last year also he had done the same in a procession. Celebrating and glorifying violence cannot be a part of any civilized society.
Jaiswal said that posters of Indian diplomats have also been put up across Canada in which threats of violence have been made against them. It is noteworthy that last week, the Canadian government arrested three Indian citizens Karan Brar (22), Kamalpreet Singh (22), and Karanpreet Singh (28) on charges of murder of Khalistani terrorist Nijjar.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government completely rejected Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar's allegation that it is completely careless about allowing criminals to enter its country. Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller says that his administration thoroughly checks the records of all people coming to Canada on student visas.
