There is no tolerance for glorification of hatred or violence in Canada. “I condemn such activities,” Mackay said in a tweet. Congress leader and former Union Minister Milind Deora shared a video of Indira Gandhi’s assassination at a recent parade in Brampton that went viral on social media.

As an Indian, I was shocked to see a still image depicting the assassination of Indira Gandhi during a 5 km long parade in Brampton, Canada,” Deora had tweeted. Jairam Ramesh, who tagged Deora’s tweet to Foreign Minister, demanded that Dr S Jaishankar should seriously discuss this with Canadian officials.
