The External Affairs Minister also said that the ongoing problem with Canada has been there for some years because of the "permissiveness" by the government regarding terrorism, extremism and violence in the country.
Emphasising that the Modi government has paid a lot of attention to the issues of the Sikh community, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that the extremist elements are just a "small minority" and do not represent the entire community.
He was asked about the concerns of Sikh community amid the 'Khalistan' issue, to which Mr Jaishankar said that the issue doesn't represent the views of the entire community.
Addressing a press conference in Washington DC on Friday, S Jaishankar said, "...Everyone is aware of the amount of attention that the Modi government has paid to the issues of the Sikh community in the last 10 years and the suggestions it has made".
