NEW DELHI: After reports that Khalistan supporters tried to disrupt a consular camp organised by the Indian mission in Vancouver, New Delhi reminded Canada of the need to follow the Vienna Convention to allow diplomats to perform their duties.After assurances of enhanced security for Indian diplomats, the government had recently resumed some visa services for Canadian nationals."Our high commission and consulates in Canada regularly organise consular camps.
One such camp was organised near Vancouver on November 12 to provide life certificates to pensioners.
The event was held successfully despite attempts by a few radical elements to cause trouble.
Our Consul General was not present at that site," said the ministry of external affairs spokesperson."We reiterate the need for nations to respect the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations so that our diplomats can discharge their diplomatic obligations," he added.Asked about an alleged attack on the Indian community during Diwali celebrations in Canada, the MEA spokesperson said Indian authorities had not received any complaint.
"I think that was more in the nature of unrest between the two groups.
To be honest, I don't think there has been any complaint that our consulate has received.
I saw some social media reports," he said.WatchEverything India is doing is in compliance with the Vienna Conventions on diplomatic relations: MEA on ties with Canada
