Subrahmanyam Jaishankar says there is an ‘atmosphere of intimidation’ in Canada towards Indians.
Canada has an influential Sikh community which supports the cause of a Sikh state independent of India.
Relations between India and Canada have been tense of late, mostly due to the presence of Sikh separatists in Canada who have kept alive the movement for Khalistan, or the demand for an independent Sikh state to be carved out of India.Earlier this month, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau alleged that Indian agents may have had a role in the June murder of Sikh separatist leader and Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was labelled a “terrorist” by India.
Canada is home to an influential Sikh community, and Indian leaders say some fringe groups there remain sympathetic to the cause of an independent Sikh state. The cause hardly has any support in India.
