A militant group from Canada issued another threat call to India on Tuesday to ‘shut down’ the Indian Embassy in Ottawa and call back the High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma. The call came two days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s meeting with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
Trudeau, who is still in India, had a subdued presence at the G20’s Delhi Summit.
Trudeau wasn’t even present at the official G20 gala dinner, according to the Canadian media.
Trudeau’s extended stay in India post-G20 summit comes at a time when New Delhi has not been entirely warm towards the Canadian PM.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday conveyed to Trudeau New Delhi’s strong concerns about continuing anti-India activities of extremist elements in Canada as they are promoting secessionism and inciting violence against Indian diplomats and threatening the Indian community there.
In his talks with Trudeau on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, Modi also mentioned that a relationship based on “mutual respect and trust” is essential for the progress of India-Canada relationship, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
