External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, on Monday, said that India has requested partner countries like Canada, the U.K., and Australia not to give space to the Khalistanis as these radical extremist ideologies are not good for their relationship.
On names of Indian diplomats in Khalistani posters in Canada, Mr. Jaishankar said, "We have requested our partner countries, like Canada, U.K., Australia, U.S. that they should not give space to these Khalistanis. These radical extremist ideologies aren't good for us, them, or our ties. Will raise the issue of these posters."
The EAM's remarks came after the reports of posters being circulated in Canada informing pro-Khalistan residents of a rally. These posters caused concerns for the Indian government as it threatened the ambassador and consulate general in Toronto. In March this year, Khalistan supporters protested outside the Indian Embassy in Canada. They raised pro-Khalistan slogans and allegedly assaulted Indian-origin journalists present on the spot.
