India’s top diplomat has steered clear of his country’s row with Canada over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader when he addressed the U.N. General Assembly meeting of world leaders
India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar is escorted to address the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023. India's top diplomat steered clear of his country's row with Canada over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader but made an oblique swipe at how other countries respond to “terrorism” as he addressed world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.
India has often lashed out at Pakistan over what New Delhi sees as sponsoring terrorism, accusing its neighbor of arming and training insurgents fighting for the independence of Indian-controlled Kashmir or for its integration into Pakistan — a charge that Islamabad denies. But this time, the comment could also be seen as a swipe at Canada, whose representative is scheduled to speak later Tuesday at the U.N.
India’s foreign ministry dismissed the allegation as “absurd” and accused Canada of harboring “terrorists and extremists.” It also said the claims were motivated, implying that Trudeau was trying to drum up domestic support among the Sikh diaspora.
