Khalistani float in parade: India slams Canada for 'celebration, glorification of violence'

India has accused the Canadian government of permitting the “celebration and glorification” of violence and urged Ottawa to cease offering a safe haven to criminal and secessionist elements following a parade in Ontario.

The parade in Malton showcased pro-Khalistan sentiments, prompting India to call on the Justin Trudeau administration to halt providing such elements with political space in Canada.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed India’s ongoing concern for the security of its diplomatic representatives in Canada and urged Ottawa to ensure their safety while carrying out their duties without fear.
