Canada blocked Australian media outlet for reporting EAM’s presser
Hindustan TimesIndia on Thursday said Canada blocked an Australian media outlet hours after it broadcast the press conference of external affairs minister S Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Penny Wong. External affairs ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said the Canadian action of blocking the social media handles and certain pages of Australia Today smacked of hypocrisy towards freedom of speech. This happened just an hour or few hours after this particular handle carried the press conference of EAM S Jaishankar with Penny Wong,” Jaiswal said in response to a question at the weekly media briefing. But nonetheless, what I say is that these are actions which yet again highlight the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech,” the external affairs ministry spokesman said.
