<p>“Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda. Indian nationals are therefore advised to avoid travelling to regions and potential venues in Canada that have seen such incidents.”</p>

<p>This comes hot on the heels of a similar travel advisory issued by Ottawa earlier on Wednesday, in which the Canadian government asked its citizens to&nbsp;‘exercise a high degree of caution’ while travelling to India.</p>

<p>In its travel advisory for India, the Canadian government said, “Avoid all travel to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir due to the unpredictable security situation."</p>

<p>"There is a threat of terrorism, militancy, civil unrest, and kidnapping. This advisory excludes traveling to or within the Union Territory of Ladakh. Avoid gatherings and demonstrations," the Canadian government said.</p>

<h2><strong>Sikh terrorist group threatens Hindus</strong></h2>

<p>While Canadian advisory was considered a political move by experts in view of the worsening allegations, Indian advisory comes after a banned Sikh terrorist organisation threatened Hindus living in Canada and asked them to leave the country as soon as possible.</p>

<p>“Indo-Hindu leave Canada; go to India. You not only support India but you are also supporting the suppression of speech and expression of pro-Khalistan Sikhs,” said Sikh For Justice group’s legal counsel Gurpatwant Pannun in a video, which has gone viral. Pannun has been designated as a terrorist in India.&nbsp;Sikh For Justice was also designated as a terrorist group in India in 2019.</p>

<p>Vijay Jain, a spokesperson for Canadian Hindus for Harmony, expressed concern over Pannun’s threat. “We are now seeing full-scale Hinduphobia out across the board.”</p>

<h2><strong>India-Canada row</strong></h2>

<p>A diplomatic standoff erupted between India and Canada after PM Trudeau suggested in his address to the House of Commons that India might be linked to the death of Khalistani terrorist&nbsp;Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Ottawa also expelled a senior Indian diplomat even as the investigation continues.</p>

<p>However, India has strongly rejected these claims, while reiterating its adherence to the rule of law. New Delhi has also called on Ottawa to check the rampant anti-India activities on Canadian soil and respect the territorial integrity of India.</p>

Tit-for-tat: New Delhi warns Indians on ‘politically-condoned’ hate crimes in Canada travel advisory

<p>Canadian authorities have charged the suspect behind an attack in which a Muslim family was mowed down by a pick-up truck with terrorism, prosecutors said Monday in court.</p>

<p>Four members of the Afzaal family, a man and his wife, their teenage daughter and his mother,&nbsp;were out for a walk in their London, Ontario neighborhood when a truck driver drove into them on purpose, according to authorities.</p>

<p>Nathaniel Veltman, 20, had already been charged last week with four counts of premeditated murder and one of attempted murder. The attack was denounced as a "terrorist" act by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.</p>

<p>Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland reacted to the new charges afterward, saying: "It is really important for us to name it as an act of terror ... and it is important for us identify the terrible threat that white supremacism poses to Canada and to Canadians."</p>

<p>The attack sparked outrage across Canada, with politicians from all sides condemning the crime, spurring growing calls to take action to curb hate crime and Islamophobia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>People in London, Ontario marched about 7 kilometers (4.4 miles) from the spot where the family was struck down to a nearby mosque, the site close to where Veltman was arrested by police.<br />
<br />
Some carried placards with messages reading 'Hate has no home here', 'Love over hate'.&nbsp;Similar events were held in other cities in Ontario, Canada's most populous province.</p>

<p>It was the worst attack against Canadian Muslims since a man gunned down six members of a Quebec City mosque in 2017.</p>

<p>So far, few details have emerged that would shed light on why police say it was a pre-meditated, hate-motivated crime. Veltman is due in court again on June 21.</p>
