Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar denounced the “climate of violence' against Indian diplomats in Canada.
Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Friday denounced the “climate of violence” and “atmosphere of intimidation” against Indian diplomats in Canada, which he said was created by Canada’s indulgence of Sikh separatists, such as Hardeep Singh Nijar, whom Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently accused the Indian government of murdering.
“We have had an ongoing problem with Canada and the Canadian government for some years now,” he said. “The ongoing problem really revolves around the permissiveness to terrorism, extremism, and violence.” “We have had smoke bombs thrown at the mission, we have had violence in front of consulates, there are posters put up,” Jaishankar said on Friday. “Do you consider this normal? If this had happened to any other country, how would they react? It is important to call out what is happening there.”
“We don’t need to learn from other people what freedom of speech is about,” Jaishankar said. “But we can tell people this: we don’t think freedom of speech extends to incitement, to violence. That, to us, is a misuse of freedom.”
