Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday said the present situation of the India-Canada relationship is not healthy and the deterioration needs to be halted without letting it get out of control any further. "I am very surprised and disappointed by the Canadian Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau) making a public allegation of this nature. If they had evidence, they should have prosecuted the killers in a court of law," Shashi Tharoor said. The tit-for-tat moves by both sides indicate an unhealthy situation as India's political interests dictate that it should have healthy relationships with all countries of the world. "I don't quite understand why the apparent need on Canada's part to cater to a particular political lobby in that country has resulted in their publicly putting their entire relationship with India in peril," Shashi Tharoor said.    #Canada #CanadianPrimeminister #CanadaPM #ShashiTharoor #Visa #IndiaVisaServices #ShashiTharoorIndiaCanada #ShashiTharoorOnIndiaCanadaRelation #ShashiTharoorOnTrudeau #HardeepSinghNijjar #OperationBlueStar #IndiaExpelsCanadianDiplomat #IndiaCanadaRelation #MEA #CameronMacKay #CanadaExpelsIndianDiplomat #MelanieJoly #IndianDiplomatExpelled #TrudeauOnNijjar #KhalistanTerrorist #Khalistan                 ~PR.152~HT.99~ED.194~

00:12 publicly putting their entire relationship with India in peril. But we now must take

00:17 steps to ensure that it doesn't deteriorate any further. They are an important trading

00:22 partner. We have a diaspora population of 1.7 million people, 17 lakh Indians live there.

00:28 And there are Indian students going there in large numbers. Now there are escalating

00:32 threats against the safety and security of Indians, Hindu Indians. And I think that once

00:37 Canada has unleashed this, they should be very conscious of the dangers they're provoking,

00:42 including frankly for importing a kind of extremism that doesn't exist in India anymore

00:47 in Punjab into their country instead, which is very, very unfortunate. So I would urge

00:52 the Canadians to also take a deep breath and rethink what they're doing. And certainly
