Amid diplomatic tension between India and Canada on the pro-Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing, India on Thursday asked Canada to provide for a conducive environment in line with provisions of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations so that its officials can discharge their duties. ” Our High Commission and consulates in Canada regularly organise consular camps. One such camp was organised near Vancouver on November 12th to provide life certificates to pensioners. The event was held successfully despite attempts by a few radical elements to cause trouble,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said during his weekly media briefing.
“ Our Consul General was not present at that site. We reiterate the need for nations to respect the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations so that our diplomats can discharge their diplomatic obligations,” he further said.
