India-Canada News: Canada has updated its travel advisory for its citizens in India in response to recent developments and the diplomatic tension surrounding the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The advisory urges Canadian citizens to “remain vigilant and exercise caution” due to concerns about safety and security, including calls for protests, and the suspension of visa services.
The Canadian government’s decision is prompted by the evolving situation in both Canada and India, where there have been calls for protests and negative sentiment expressed towards Canada on social media. In light of these developments, the Canadian government emphasizes the importance of vigilance and caution for its citizens.
This move by the Canadian government follows a similar advisory issued by the Indian authorities. India had advised its citizens living in Canada and those planning to travel there to exercise “utmost caution” in light of increasing anti-India activities and “politically-condoned” hate crimes in Canada. This advisory was issued as the diplomatic dispute over the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader continued to escalate, raising concerns about potential further confrontations.
