Indian consulate in Canada’s Toronto cancels consular camps
Toronto: The Consulate General of India in Toronto has said that it is cancelling some of its scheduled consular camps after the Canadian security authorities conveyed their inability to provide minimum security protection to its organisers.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the announcement comes days after protesters carried Khalistani flags at a consular event co-organised by the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton and the Indian Consulate.
The Consulate General of India in a post on X said, “In view of the security agencies conveying their inability to provide minimum security protection to the community camp organisers, the consulate has decided to cancel some of the scheduled consular camps.”
On November 3, the protest occurred at the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton and unverified videos circulating on social media appeared to show demonstrators holding banners in support of Khalistan.
The relations between India and Canada came under severe strain following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s remarks in September last year of a “potential” involvement of Indian agents in Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing.
