New Delhi: As India-Canada diplomatic crisis continues to deepen over the issue of Khalistani extremism, the Indian Consulate in Toronto has cancelled some more consular camps in the country, citing security concerns.
It was confirmed through an official statement by the Indian Consulate in Toronto issued on Thursday.
The Indian Consulate said that the decision comes in the wake of Canadian security agencies’ inability in providing “minimum security against heightened threats” to members of the Indian diaspora.
The official statement read, “Due to continued inability conveyed by security agencies to provide minimum security against heightened threats, Consulate has had to cancel some more consular camps. Most of them were not at any places of worship, including one at a Police facility.”
This comes days after the Indian High Commission in Canada announced to cancel some of the planned consular camps following attacks by Khalistani mobs on two such camps in Brampton and Surrey on November 2 and 3.
The Indian Consulate also acknowledged the challenges faced by the elderly members of the Indian diaspora in the Greater Toronto Area “who have been deprived of an essential consular service.”
“Consulate is fully sensitive to the difficulties faced by close to 4,000 elderly members of the diaspora in the Greater Toronto Area- both Indian and Canadian nationals- who have been deprived of an essential consular service,” the statement further read.
