Separatist slogans raised at event attended by PM Trudeau; India summons Canada envoy
PTC News Desk: India summoned Canada's Deputy High Commissioner on Monday over the chanting of separatist slogans at an event attended by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The Ministry of External Affairs, releasing a statement, said that it has an impact on bilateral relations and encourages a "climate of violence".
"The Government of India's deep concern and strong protest was conveyed at such disturbing actions being allowed to continue unchecked at the event. This illustrates once again the political space that has been given in Canada to separatism, extremism and violence," the MEA said. "Their continued expressions not only impact India-Canada relations but also encourage a climate of violence and criminality in Canada to the detriment of its own citizens," it added.
