LONDON: After over 110,000 Sikhs came out to choose Khalistan Referendum in the Canadian city of Brampton, a public diplomatic spar has actually appeared in between Canada and India which most current bout originated from the previous federal government's last night after the Trudeau administration released a cooling travel advisory to its residents alerting them about possible security risks in case of travel to a number of states of India, especially Punjab-- the proposed Sikh homeland Khalistan

The Canadian federal government provided the travel advisory precisely 4 days after India provided an aggressive advisory on September 23 for its Indian nationals and trainees residing in or preparing to take a trip to Canada, informing its residents that the nation had actually ended up being a hotbed of pro-Khalistan and anti-India activities. At the very same time, India's Foreign Office honestly assaulted the Canadian federal government for revealing tolerance towards regional Sikhs.

In an extraordinary tit-for-tat relocation, Canada has actually now recommended its people to prevent all travel to locations in the states of Gujarat, Punjab, and Rajasthan which share a border with Pakistan as a result of the "existence of landmines" and "unforeseeable security scenario" on the Indian side of the border.

Conspicuously, while noting the hazards on the Indian side of the border, Canada particularly left out the 'Wagah Border' which falls in Punjab and is greatly often visited by Sikh pilgrims to check out Gurdwaras in Pakistan from any dangers and stated it safe. The Canadian advisory states: "This advisory omits the Wagah Border crossing."

Seemingly, what lies at the bottom of the continuous exchange of travel advisories are India and Canada's opposing views on the problem of Khalistan Referendum

While India-- after locally stating the advocacy, project, and ballot in Khalistan Referendum as "criminal offense" and "terrorism" and prosecuting the advocates in Indian Punjab-- is now firmly insisting that Canada needs to likewise prohibit and prohibit Khalistan Referendum activities on Canadian soil whereas Canada has actually taken a company stand that serene and non-violent secessionist advocacy on Canadian soil such as Khalistan Referendum ballot, is a secured workout of flexibility of speech by the Canadian Sikhs.

Clearly indicating India's perverse usage of landmines along the border locations which might damage and eliminate Indian residents and other harmless travelers prior to hurting any supposed opponent, the Canadian advisory states: "Avoid all travel to locations within 10 km of the border with Pakistan in the following states due to the unforeseeable security scenario and existence of landmines and unexploded ordnance: Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan."

Earlier, India's External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi stated India had actually raised with Canada severe issues on the Khalistan Referendum ballot on September 18 in Brampton.

" The matter has actually been taken up with the Canadian authorities through diplomatic channels. The federal government of Canada has actually repeated that they appreciate the sovereignty and territorial stability of India and they will not identify the so-called referendum which is occurring in Canada," the MEA representative stated.

In a journalistic scoop, Geo.tv and The News had actually currently exposed, pricing quote the Canadian federal government sources, days prior to the general public sparring in between the 2 nations that the Indian governmenthas tried to stop Khalistan Referendum by putting pressure on the Canadian federal government.

India was informed that any tranquil and genuine activity by Canadian Sikhs will not be stopped and the Canadian federal government will not interfere in the Sikhs' right to tranquil advocacy on Canadian soil for the production of Khalistan in the Indian-governed area of Punjab.
