Jaishankar’s big attack on Canada amid diplomatic row: ‘Even double standards are mild words’

External affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Monday accused Canada of “inconsistent standards” in diplomatic relations. Speaking at the ‘NDTV World Summit 2024: The India Century’, the minister said,”So apparently, the license that they give themselves is totally different from the kind of restrictions that they impose on diplomats in Canada. When we tell them you have people openly threatening leaders of India, diplomats of India. Their answer is freedom of speech. When Indian journalists make social media comments, if you threaten the Indian High Commissioner, he is supposed to accept it as freedom of speech.”
