'Expect Action, Freedom Of Speech Can't...': Jaishankar On Attacks On London, San Francisco Missions

ABP News  

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that India expects action against the culprits who were involved in the attack on the Indian High Commission in London and consulate in San Francisco last year, as well as those involved in threatening the Indian diplomats in Canada, reported PTI. "We expect the culprits in the attack in our consulate in San Francisco to be brought to book, we expect action against people who stormed into our high commission in London and we expect action against people who threatened our diplomats," Jaishankar said during an event in New Delhi. The Union minister said that India had to suspend the issuance of visas in Canada because its diplomats were being repeatedly "threatened and intimidated in many ways" and we "got very little comfort from the Canadian system that time". Certain pro-Khalistani elements had launched an attack on the Indian High Commission in London on March 19 last year while an arson attempt was made at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.
