Canada has very permissive attitude towards terrorists, says Jaishankar amid diplomatic row
[ad_1]
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NSA Jake Sullivan earlier on Thursday, said he had spoken about the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada with the duo and asserted Canada’s attitude towards terrorism has been permissive.
“They shared US views and assessments on this whole situation… I think hopefully we both came out of those meetings better and forward,” said Jaishankar.
“This has been an issue of great, friction for many years with Canada. But in the last few years, it has come back, very much into play, because of what we consider to be a very permissive Canadian attitude towards terrorists, extremist people who openly advocate violence. And they have been given operating space in Canada because of the compulsions of Canadian politics,” he said.
While speaking at Hudson University, Jaishankar underscored that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had initially levelled allegations privately and then publically from the House of Commons and added India too replied to the allegations in the same manner.
This is a breaking story. More details will be added.
