'Stop giving shelter to extremists…', India reprimands Trudeau over controversial pictures – News India Live

India has strongly reprimanded Canada for becoming a victim of radicalization after the arrest of 3 accused in the murder case of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India on Tuesday accused the Canadian government of allowing “celebration and glorification” of violence. India asked Ottawa to stop harboring criminal and separatist elements in Canada. Earlier, pro-Khalistan sentiments were displayed in a procession in Malton, Ontario. India has asked the Justin Trudeau government to stop “harboring” criminal and separatist elements in Canada in response to the inclusion of controversial 'tableau' in 'Nagar Kirtan'.

India reprimanded Trudeau

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is concerned about the safety of its diplomatic representatives in Canada and hopes that Ottawa will allow them to discharge their responsibilities without any fear. This controversial procession was taken out on Sunday. We have repeatedly expressed our deep concern about the use of violent imagery by extremist elements against our political leadership in Canada. He said, 'Last year a tableau depicting the assassination of our former Prime Minister was used in the procession. Jaiswal said that posters threatening violence against Indian diplomats have also been put up in Canada. Celebrating and glorifying violence should not be a part of any civilized society.

Relations between India and Canada are serious

India said that democratic countries that respect the rule of law should not allow extremist elements to intimidate in the name of freedom of expression, if one actually claims to be a country with the rule of law. In September last year, relations between India and Canada were severely strained after Prime Minister Trudeau alleged 'possible' involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India rejected Trudeau's allegations as 'absurd'. Last week, Canadian authorities charged three Indian nationals with Nijjar's murder. It is said that he came to Canada on a student visa.
