The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Thursday raised concern and alleged that Canada was giving political space to separatists, extremists and those advocating violence and also he claimed that Indian diplomats were threatened with impunity in Canada and were obstructed from performing their duties.
Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that We have also been informed about it, but there has been no formal diplomatic communication to us regarding three Indians who have been arrested in the Nijjar case.
"We have long maintained that separatists, extremists and those advocating violence have been given political space in Canada. Our diplomats have been threatened with impunity and obstructed in their performance of duties. We have also pointed out to the Canadian authorities that figures associated with organized crime with links in India have been allowed entry and residency. Many of our extradition requests are pending with them. We are having discussions at the diplomatic level on all these matters with the Canadian side."
Mea spokesperson says that, the political interest has been working on the Nijjar case, "Let me first make it clear that no specific or relevant evidence or information has been shared by the Canadian authorities in regard to this particular matter, till date, with us. You will therefore understand our view that the matter is being prejudged when people say X or Y. Obviously, there are political interests at work. "
