Canada has been asked to arrest and prosecute the individuals involved in these acts
India has sought immediate action against members of pro-Khalistani groups who breached security at the Indian mission and consulates in Canada. This comes close on the heels of India's strong reaction after similar incidents in the UK and US.
The High Commissioner of Canada in New Delhi was summoned on Saturday to convey India's strong concern about the actions of separatist and extremist elements against the diplomatic Mission and Consulates in Canada this week, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Sunday.
"The Government of India sought an explanation on how such elements were allowed, in the presence of police, to breach the security of our diplomatic Mission and Consulates," the MEA said.
According to the MEA, the Government of Canada was reminded of its obligations under the Vienna Convention, and asked to arrest and prosecute the individuals who have already been identified as being involved in such acts.
"It is expected that the Canadian Government will take all steps which are required to ensure the safety of our diplomats and security of our diplomatic premises so that they are able to fulfil their normal diplomatic functions," the MEA pointed out.
Earlier this week, India had reacted strongly against similar incidents in the UK and the US.
On Friday, India had said that it would like to see action, and not merely assurances, against those involved in the attacks on the Indian High Commission in London, UK and the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, US.
Supporters of so-called Khalistan had protested outside the Indian High Commission in London and attempted to vandalise the national tricolour on March 19. The Indian High Commission subsequently put up a large national flag in front of the building. Later, a massive tricolour was also unfurled along the roof of the High Commission building in London.
