OTTAWA — India’s envoy to Ottawa says Canadians who advocate for a separate Sikh homeland in India’s Punjab region are a “national security threat” and a “red line” in bilateral relations as diplomatic tensions between Canada and the government of Narendra Modi continue.
Speaking in Montreal on Monday, High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma said India does not recognize dual nationality, and that Indians who adopt Canadian citizenship are “foreigners” who have no right to weigh in on matters of Indian politics.
