With India and Canada in the middle of a diplomatic face-off over the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday issued an advisory urging Indian nationals and students in Canada to “exercise utmost caution”.
“In view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, all Indian nationals there and those contemplating travel are urged to exercise utmost caution,” the advisory reads. “Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda. Indian nationals are therefore advised to avoid travelling to regions and potential venues in Canada that have seen such incidents.”
