‘Double standards’ — India hits out at Canada over ‘lack of action’ on ‘anti-India’ elements
New Delhi: As relations continue to sour, the Indian government hit out at Canada Thursday over the alleged lack of action against what it termed “anti-India” elements in the North American country.This came days after Canadian authorities arrested two men for issuing online threats to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other top officials, such as Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh.
“We would like to see strong action (and the) same level of action on the threats posed to us.
