Temple Attack In Canada: Political Space Given To Extremists, Says Jaishankar

New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday expressed serious concerns regarding the increasing political space afforded to extremist groups in Canada. Responding to questions during a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart, Penny Wong, Jaishankar remarked, “Canada has developed a pattern of making allegations without substantiating them. We find it unacceptable that our diplomats are reportedly under surveillance in Canada, and we are witnessing a disturbing allowance of political space for extremist groups there.”

 

The remark followed an attack on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada, and comes amid a deepening diplomatic dispute between India and Canada over issues linked to Khalistani separatist movements and concerns regarding the safety of Indian diplomats.

The press briefing took place in Canberra as part of Jaishankar’s official five-day visit to Australia, where he is engaging with Australian leaders, Indian diaspora representatives, and other stakeholders to discuss Indo-Pacific and regional security issues.
