India asks Canada to take action against those celebrating assassination of Indira Gandhi
Ottawa (Canada) – An attempt was made recently in Canada to glorify the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. After a video about this came to light, India took a strict stand and demanded action against those celebrating the assassination of Indira Gandhi. On the occasion of 40 years of ‘Operation Bluestar’, supporters of Khalistan took out a procession in Brampton, Canada. It displayed a statue of Indira Gandhi wounded with bullets and her Sikh bodyguards standing by the side. Canada’s High Commissioner to India, Cameron MacKay, also said that this kind of endorsement of violence was completely unacceptable and Canada would never accept it.
MEA Dr S Jaishankar expresses displeasure
Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar expressed his displeasure over the approval of the tableau. He said that it was tantamount to endorsing the violence of Sikh separatists. It was not good for Canada and it was not good for India-Canada relations, Jaishankar added.
