Indian Foreign S Jaishankar is visiting Australia these days. This country is a member of the 5 Eyes group along with Canada. Apart from Canada and Australia, America, Britain and New Zealand are also included in this group and Canada is trying to mobilize them against India by throwing dust in the eyes of all of them regarding Khalistani extremists. However, Jaishankar went to Australia and removed Canada’s blindfold. The Indian Foreign Minister took Canada to task over the attack on the Hindu temple in Brampton. He said that this shows how Justin Trudeau’s government is giving ‘political space’ to extremists there.
What did Jaishankar say?
Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar said this during a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong in Canberra. Jaishankar told reporters in Canberra, ‘You must have seen the statement of our official spokesperson earlier and also the concern of our Prime Minister.’ He said, ‘Let me say three things. One, Canada has developed a pattern of making allegations without giving any specific details. Second, when we look at Canada, for us, the fact that… our diplomats are under surveillance is something that is unacceptable. The third incident is the video of which you must watch. I think this will show how extremist forces are being given political space there.
What did the Australian Foreign Minister say about Canada?
On the other hand, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said that she then discussed Canada’s allegations with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. India has denied Canada’s allegation that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah had ordered the targeting of Sikh activists inside Canada. Wong said, ‘We convey to India our views, as you would expect from us, and a principled position on matters such as the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary and also, obviously, the sovereignty of all countries. Is.’
However, India has officially lodged a protest, terming Canada’s allegations of targeting Sikh activists as ‘absurd and baseless’. Jaishankar also condemned the vandalism that took place on Sunday in a Hindu temple near Toronto in Canada and described it as extremely worrying. In the video posted on social media, pro-Khalistan Sikh separatists are seen clashing with other people carrying yellow flags in the temple premises. On the other side, some people are seen holding the national flag of India in their hands.
PM Modi gave strict instructions to Justin Trudeau
Indian Consulate officials were visiting the temple where the clashes took place. However, it is not clear how the violence started. On the other hand, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the violence in the temple as ‘unacceptable’ and said that ‘every Canadian has the right to practice their religion freely and safely.’
Earlier on Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had strongly condemned the attack on the temple. He wrote on the social media platform ‘X’, ‘I strongly condemn the attack on the Hindu temple in Canada. The cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats are equally appalling. Such acts of violence will never weaken India’s resolve.
