The Congress on Tuesday said the country’s interests and concerns must be kept paramount and its fight against terrorism has to be uncompromising, amid a row between India and Canada over the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader in that country.
India announced the expulsion of a Canadian diplomat on Thursday hours after Canada asked an Indian official to leave that country, citing a “potential” Indian link to the killing of the separatist leader in June.
“The Indian National Congress has always believed that our country’s fight against terrorism has to be uncompromising, especially when terrorism threatens India’s sovereignty, unity and integrity,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a post on ‘X’. “Our country’s interests and concerns must be kept paramount at all times,” he added.
