New York: If you (Canada) have something specific and something relevant, let us know. We are open to looking at it: EAM Dr S Jaishankar

New York: On India-Canada row, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, “…We told the Canadians that this is not the Government of India’s policy…If you have something specific and if you have something relevant, let us know. We are open to looking at it…The picture is not complete without the context in a way. You also have to appreciate that in the last few years, Canada actually has seen a lot of organized crime, relating to the secessionist forces, organized crime, violence and extremism. They’re all very, very deeply mixed up. So in fact, we have been talking about specifics and information…We’ve given them a lot of information about organized crime and leadership, which operates out of Canada. There are a large number of extradition requests. There are terrorist leaders, who have been identified…Our concern is that it’s really been very permissive, because of political reasons. So we have a situation where our diplomats are threatened, our consulates have been attacked…A lot of this is often justified, as saying that’s how democracies work. If somebody gives me something specific, it doesn’t have to be restricted to Canada. But if there’s any incident which is an issue and somebody gives me something specific as a government, I would look at it…”
