Ottawa vows safety of Indian diplomats after threats
The issue has strained diplomatic relations between Canada and India as the two negotiate a possible trade agreement ahead of an expected visit by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau next month to New Delhi.
India’s high commission in Ottawa has not responded to a request for comment on the latest apparent threat. While Ottawa won’t specify what video it finds threatening to Indian diplomats, a July 21 clip posted on social media by the group Sikhs for Justice calls for people to “besiege” India’s diplomatic missions in Canada, accusing diplomats of responsibility for violence against those wanting a separate state.
The video shows a tank labelled “Kill India” that blows up a graphic of India’s borders. It appears on certain social media but seems to have been removed from YouTube for violating that platform’s terms of service.
