Jaishankar on India Canada ties: EAM Jaishankar rejects Canada's targeting of Indian diplomats, highlighting organized crime presence and sovereignty concerns.

India first raised the presence of organised crime in Canada but the issue was ignored because of a permissive atmosphere for a long time, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday, rejecting the targeting of its high commissioner and diplomats by the Trudeau government.

Speaking at an event in Pune on the subject 'Emerging opportunities in the present global scenario', the diplomat-turned-politician said India will obviously take a tough position, which has been taken when its national interest, integrity and sovereignty are concerned.
