India-Canada Diplomatic Row LIVE: Punjab Congress Chief Calls Row Over Singer Shubh's Show 'Propaganda'

Background

The diplomatic row between India and Canada over the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader is getting murkier. India Wednesday advised all its citizens living in Canada, and also those planning to travel to that country, to exercise "utmost caution" in the wake of the growing "anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes" there. The strongly-worded advisory issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) cited threats targeting diplomats and sections of the Indian community that "oppose the anti-India agenda", and said Indian nationals, particularly students, should avoid travelling to areas in Canada that have seen such incidents. The advisory asked Indian students studying in Canada to remain vigilant and exercise "extreme caution".

The row started after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in the country's parliament Monday that they had found "links" of "Indian agents" in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June this year. Soon after, Ottawa expelled a senior Indian diplomat posted in Canada. India rejected the charges as "absurd and motivated", and retaliated by expelling a senior Canadian diplomat, giving the official five days to leave India. 
The ties between India and Canada have been under strain for the past some time over what is seen as increasing pro-Khalistani activities in that country.

India is learnt to have activated all its intelligence and diplomatic channels in the US, Australia and the UK to identify the network run by outfits like ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ), who are known Khalistan sympathisers, top intel sources told ABP Live.

Meanwhile, PTI reported, quoting Col. Todd Braithwaite, the Defence Attache at the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi, that Canada's Deputy Army Chief Major General Peter Scott would be visiting India next week to attend a military conference. "We will continue our military cooperation. It (the diplomatic row) is not going to impact (the defence relations). Our Deputy Army Chief will visit India to participate in the conference, he said when asked whether the escalating diplomatic row would impact the bilateral military ties," he was quoted as saying.

'Malicious Attempts To Tarnish Our Youngsters': Punjab Congress Chief On Row Over Canadian Singer's Show

Punjab Congress Chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has opposed labelling of Canadian singer Shubh as 'anti-nationals'. 

"While we at @INCPunjab strongly oppose the idea of Khalistan & have actively fought our battles against anti national forces, I strongly oppose labelling of our youngsters like @Shubhworldwide, who speak for Punjab as anti nationals. We Punjabis don’t need to give any proofs about our nationalism. This propaganda being pushed by certain forces against Punjabis to undermine us is highly condemnable.
