The meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee has ended.
The meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs has concluded. External Affairs Secretary Vikram Mistry shared information with members about the allocation of funds for the ministry. The meeting only discussed allocations for the ministry. The meeting did not discuss issues related to China or Canada. Whereas these issues were included in the Committee’s proceedings.
According to opposition MPs on the committee, the time limit for the funding process itself has expired.

According to the committee’s plan, the Indo-Canada issue will be discussed first on October 29.

Hindu temple attacks cause for concern
On Tuesday, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar called the attacks on Hindu temples in Canada worrying. He has said that this shows that Canada is providing political asylum to extremist forces. He said what is happening at Canadian temples is very concerning. The Foreign Minister will visit Australia from November 3 to 7.
Last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that Indian agents were involved in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Since then, relations between India and Canada have been strained. India denied the accusation, calling it baseless. Not only that, India also expelled six Canadian diplomats. High Commissioner Sanjay Verma and other officials under Canadian surveillance were also recalled.
