India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar condemned Canada's targeting of Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma during a Pune event, emphasizing India's commitment to protecting its sovereignty. Jaishankar rejected Canada's actions, labeling them as unacceptable, particularly following Canada's designation of Verma as a "person of interest" in the investigation into Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. He criticized Canada for allowing a small political lobby to influence relations negatively. Jaishankar urged Canada to acknowledge organized crime issues raised by India, which have been neglected. The ongoing diplomatic rift continues to escalate tensions between the two nations.
