Canada Warns Citizens to Avoid Travel to India, Issued an Advisory Due to Security Threats
Ottawa – Canada has come up with an advisory for traveling to India for its citizens. This comes days after New Delhi cautioned Indians to have hate crimes in Canada. Now Ottawa has asked its citizens to avoid traveling to India citing security threats.
The advisory cautions Canadians against traveling to areas in the states of Gujarat, Punjab, and Rajasthan that share a border with Pakistan due to the presence of landmines and unpredictable security situations.
The North American country has further warned Canadians against traveling to Jammu and Kashmir and the northeastern states of Assam and Manipur citing the threat of terrorism.
The move comes after India September 23, issued an advisory for Indian nationals and students in Canada, asking them to remain vigilant amid the increasing incidence of crimes and anti-India activities in the country.
And for more on this, our principal diplomatic correspondent What impact to this new advisory have on the Indian students who already have cautious in Canada? And what effect will it have in the long run?
Canadian Advisory After India’s Stand Against Hate Crimes in Canada
Well, the advisory which has been an updated one when it comes to travel advisory by the Canadian government is something that focuses on health.
It is an updated advisory on a health issue that has been an issue. What is perhaps something that raises eyebrows is that it comes just five days after the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement advising its nationals and students to be cautious in Canada because of the increase in crime rate in the country.
And we have seen there have been attacks on Indian students of course Indian nationals and recently attacks on Hindu temples as well, including we saw Graffiti at the Swaminarayan temple in Canada.
But largely development came in the backdrop of the so-called Khalistani referendum in the country something that India had taken an exception for India was miffed over the development.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson called it a farcical exercise, and something he said the Canadian government should have taken steps to ensure that this kind of activity does not take place.
And we know that this relationship has seen a lot of negative vibes to use the word in terms of the presence of the Khalistani elements, who of course, are seen as crucial vote bank politics of Canada. That is why today we saw advisory versus advisory something that is not going to go well when it comes to the India-Canada relationship.
