S Jaishankar also spoke about the rising extremism in Canada and the political immunity extended to such forces.
“One, Canada has developed a pattern of making allegations without providing specifics. Secondly, when we look at Canada, for us the fact that they’re putting our diplomats under surveillance is something which is unacceptable,” he emphasised.

“Third, the incidents which the gentleman there spoke about, and do look at the video, I think they would tell you in a way the political space today which is being given to extremist forces there. So we believe in freedom. We also believe freedom should not be misused. And have you had a talk about it? Exactly on the lines which I’ve spoken, the External Affairs Minister added.
