after jaishankar press conference telecast canada banned australian channel

Relations between India and Canada are becoming increasingly sour. Now, under the guise of hatred towards India, the Trudeau government has taken another big step. Canada bans Australia Today for showing Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s press conference. On Canada blocking/banning of major outlet Australia Today, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have learned that the social media handle, page of an important diaspora outlet in Canada has been blocked/banned. This happened just hours after this particular handle telecasted External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar’s press conference with Penny Wong. We were surprised. This seemed strange to us.

A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said this once again exposes Canada’s hypocrisy towards freedom of expression… The foreign minister talked about three things in his media appearances. First, Canada made allegations without any specific evidence. Second, unacceptable surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada. Third, the political space given to anti-India elements in Canada…from this you can conclude why Australia Today channel was blocked by Canada.

During the press conference in Canberra, Minister Jaishankar raised the issue of the attack by Khalistanis on a Hindu temple in Brampton, Canada and said that this incident shows how extremist forces are being given political space in Canada> Australian Foreign Minister Jaishankar, in attendance, made several comments criticizing the Canadian government over its support of Khalistanis and accusing India of attacking Khalistanis in Canada over baseless allegations.
