Khalistani group SFJ has threatened to lay siege to the Indian consulate in Canada, raising diplomatic concerns and security alerts.
The outfit, which has often been in the spotlight for its anti-India activities, announced plans to target the Indian diplomatic mission, sparking alarm within both Indian and Canadian authorities.
The Indian government has taken serious note of the development, viewing it as an attack on its sovereignty and a violation of international diplomatic protocols. Security at Indian consulates in Canada is being reviewed and strengthened amid the looming threat.
India and Canada have faced turbulent relations in recent months, largely over the issue of Khalistani separatist activities on Canadian soil. New Delhi has repeatedly conveyed its concerns to Ottawa regarding the space given to such extremist organizations that pose a direct threat to India’s unity and integrity.
Experts believe this new provocation by SFJ could further strain bilateral ties, especially with India’s strong stance against terrorism and separatism. Canadian authorities are expected to respond with necessary law enforcement action to ensure the safety of diplomatic establishments.
This latest threat once again highlights the sensitive nature of India-Canada relations and the pressing need for stronger cooperation in tackling extremism.
