India Withdraws its High Commissioner from Canada: Angry with Canada's wrong statements in the Hardeep Nijjar case, India has taken a big decision. The Ministry of External Affairs has recalled the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats and officials from Canada. Just before this, India had also summoned the Canadian High Commissioner.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, concern has been expressed over the safety of Indian ambassadors in Canada. The statement said that the actions of the Trudeau government in an environment of extremism and violence put their security at risk. We have no confidence in the current Canadian government's commitment to ensure their safety. Therefore, the Indian government has decided to recall the High Commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials.
Canadian ambassador summoned
Let us tell you, India had summoned the Canadian ambassador on Monday. In this case, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the baseless targeting of the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats and officials in Canada is completely unacceptable. It was emphasized that their security has been endangered by the actions of the Trudeau government in an atmosphere of extremism and violence. We have no confidence in the commitment of the current Canadian government to ensure their safety. Therefore, the Indian government has decided to recall the High Commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials. It was also told that India reserves the right to take further steps in response to the Trudeau government's support of extremism, violence, and separatism against India.
What did the Canadian ambassador say?
On the other hand, after coming out of the Ministry of External Affairs, Canadian High Commissioner Stewart Wheeler told the media that Canada has provided credible, irrefutable evidence of links between agents of the Indian government and the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. Now the time has come for India to live up to its promise and investigate all those allegations. Getting to the bottom of this matter is in the interest of both our countries and the people of our countries. Canada is ready to cooperate with India.
