Promotion of murder is not acceptable: Canada is shown on a float that shows the assassination of Indira Gandhi
The country’s high commissioner to India was echoed by Canadian Minister Dominic LeBlanc when he declared that Canada cannot tolerate the promotion of violence.
The encouragement of violence is never appropriate in Canada, according to Canadian High Commissioner to India Cameron MacKay, who made this statement on Tuesday amid controversy surrounding a float that showed the death of former prime minister Indira Gandhi in Brampton.
The Canadian government is aware of additional imagery that was shown on Sunday in Brampton. The advocacy of violence is never allowed in Canada, as stated unequivocally by the country, according to MacKay’s post “X.”
After learning about the incident, Canadian Minister Dominic LeBlanc expressed the same opinions as the nation’s high commissioner to India: it is never appropriate in Canada to encourage violence.
There have been rumours this week of images showing the Vancouver assassination of (former) Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In Canada, it is never appropriate to encourage violence, he declared.
Anita Anand, an Oakville MP of Indian descent, called the graphic imagery “disturbing and unacceptable”.
“It is unsettling and unacceptable to use violent imagery in relation to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi because it encourages and sustains hate and violence,” Ms. Anand stated.
The float took part in a parade held to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, an anti-terrorist operation authorised by Indira Gandhi that aimed to eliminate militants from the Khalistani group who were holed up in Amritsar’s Golden Temple.
Indira Gandhi was slain by her Sikh bodyguards after the operation.
