India has advised its nationals in Canada to stay alert and exercise caution in view of the rise in reported hate crimes and activities that the Indian state considers detrimental to its interests.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued an advisory in this regard on Friday and put on record that the Government of Canada had so far failed to deliver justice in the cases concerned.
“There has been a sharp increase in incidents of hate crimes, sectarian violence and anti-India activities in Canada. In view of the increasing incidence of crimes, Indian nationals and students from India in Canada and those proceeding to Canada for travel/education are advised to exercise due caution and remain vigilant,” stated the advisory.
