The Show Time
India on Friday issued a strong warning to
Canada over the remarks made by some of
its leaders including Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau on the ongoing farmers protest in
the country.
The government summoned the Canadian
high commissioner and told him that the
comments made by Canadian leaders
constituted an "unacceptable
interference" in the country's internal
affairs.
The Canadian diplomat was warned that such actions, if continued, would have a "seriously damaging" impact on the bilateral ties.
Trudeau had expressed concern over the farmers agitation in India and had said that Canada will always be there to defend the rights of peaceful protests.
"The Canadian High Commissioner was summoned to the ministry of external affairs today and informed that comments by the Canadian Prime Minister, some Cabinet Ministers and members of Parliament on issues relating to Indian farmers constitute an unacceptable interference in our internal affairs," the MEA said, adding a demarche was made to the envoy.
