“Our position on the efforts by anti-India elements to hold a so-called Khalistan referendum is well-known and has been conveyed to the Canadian Government, both in New Delhi and in Canada,” Mr. Bagchi said, referring to a number of demarches that India has sent to Canada, in what has become a growing source of tensions between Delhi and Ottawa. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also discussed the terrorism issue with PM Justin Trudeau when they met on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Germany this year.
In response, the Canadian government has said that they respect India’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity of India and that they will not recognise the so-called referendum”, according to Mr. Bagchi, but has not so far agreed to stopping the referendum, one round of which was already held in September this year.
