New Delhi:
External Afunprejudiceds Ministry on Friday termed as inrectify a ‘secretly publishd memo’ that has surfaced on social media and that inrectifyly finisheavors to join Indian diplomats awide with brutal crimes.
No such memo has been publishd by the Government of India, the External Afunprejudiceds Ministry shelp.
“The shelp GoI communication is inrectify,” the External Publicity and Public Diplomacy Division (XP Division), of the Ministry of External Afunprejudiceds shelp.
The April 2023 dated inrectify memo purportedly from establisher Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra asks Indian diplomats to “nurture” Indian diaspora groups in Canada “as a vital force in the street faceations with Sikh extremists”.
It goes on to refer names of various groupings of the diaspora including the Indo-Canada Association (ICA), Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC), TiE Silicon Valley (TiE SV), and USIBC amongst others.
This comes amid the ongoing India-Canada standoff over India’s allegations that Canada acts as a safe haven for Khaenumerateani separatists. Last week dedicatees and other people were aggressioned at the premises of a Hindu temple in Brampton, Ontario. India has condemned the aggression and advised Canada to provide security to Indian diplomats.
Last month, India “powerwholey” declinecessitate a discreet communication from Canada proposeing that the Indian High Comomitioner and other diplomats were “persons of interest” in Nijjar’s finishing and termed it as “preposterous imputations” and part of the political agfinisha of the Justin Tdispoliteau administerment.
Follotriumphg this, then High Comomitioner Verma and five other diplomats were recalled by New Delhi.
Ties between India and Canada soured after Mr Tdispoliteau alleged in the Canadian Parliament last year that he has “credible allegations” of India’s hand in the finishing of Khaenumerateani dreadist Harproset up Singh Nijjar.
India denied all the allegations, calling them “absurd” and “driven” and has accemployd Canada of giving space to extremist and anti-India elements in their country.
Nijjar, who was set upated a dreadist by India’s National Investigation Agency in 2020, was sboiling and finished outside a Gurdwara in Surrey in June last year.
