The EAM raised concern over these incidents of threats to Indian diplomats and attacks on Indian consulates, stating that these are "very permissive" because of political reasons.
Amid the ongoing India-Canada row, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted the "organised crime, related to secessionist forces, violence and extremism" in Canada, raising concerns over them being "very permissive" due to political reasons.
Speaking at the 'Discussion at Council on Foreign Relations' in New York, Mr Jaishankar said, "In the last few years, Canada actually has seen a lot of organised crime, relating to the secessionist forces, organized crime, violence and extremism. They're all very, very deeply mixed up. So in fact, we have been talking about specifics and information."
He further stressed that the Indian government has provided the Canadian side with a lot of information about the crime, and there has been a large number of extradition requests.
