Freedom of expression being misused in Canada by anti-India elements: MEA

The Hindu  

Freedom of expression is being “misused” by extremists in Canada to “legitimise terrorism”, said Official Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi in New Delhi on July 6. He reiterated India’s call for Canada to rein in pro-Khalistan elements who have circulated posters inciting violence against Indian diplomats in Canada, U.S., and Australia ahead of an expected pro-Khalistan demonstration on July 8. Mr. Bagchi however argued without naming the Canadian leader and said, “It is a matter of concern that freedom of expression and speech is once again being misused by anti-India elements based in Canada and elsewhere and we continue to press the Canadian side that our diplomats can carry out their normal functions without fear or intimidation.” He also said that India has taken note of attacks and threats of violence against Indian diplomatic premises and Indian diplomats in the U.S., and the UK. Mr. Bagchi also said India “strongly condemns” the July 2 arson attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco and noted that the fire incident was “quickly brought under control by local authorities.” “We have taken up the matter with the U.S. side and the U.S. administration has responded very promptly at very senior levels,” said Mr. Bagchi stating that the security of Indian diplomats and diplomatic premises are of “utmost priority” to the Indian government.
