Canada was reminded of its obligations under the Vienna Convention, and asked to arrest and prosecute the individuals who have already been identified as being involved in such acts, it said.

The event was ultimately cancelled for security reasons, Global News, the news and current affairs division of the Canadian Global Television Network, had reported.
Indian-origin journalist Sameer Kaushal, who was at the venue to cover the protest, was also assaulted by protesters.
Canada has also seen a rise in anti-India activities recently by Khalistan supporters who have vandalised some Hindu temples.

Akal Takht Jathedar asks Amritpal Singh to surrender before police

The head of the Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, has asked fugitive Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh to surrender before police and cooperate with investigation.

The Jathedar of Akal Takht has also questioned police's competence

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh Saturday asked fugitive radical preacher Amritpal Singh to surrender before police and cooperate with investigation.
The Jathedar of Akal Takht (the highest temporal seat of Sikhs) also questioned police's competence, wondering why they have not been able to nab the self-styled Sikh preacher despite having such a big force.
"If Amritpal is out (of police net), then I will ask him to present (before police) and cooperate with (police) investigation," said the Jathedar.
Singh's remarks come in the wake of Punjab Police crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and elements of 'Waris Punjab De', an outfit headed by him.
Amritpal has been on the run since March 18, when the police crackdown began.
Several images and videos have shown him taking multiple vehicles to dodge police.
The preacher himself gave the police a slip and escaped their dragnet when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district. His whereabouts are still unknown.
The Punjab government has slapped the strictest National Security Act against him and some of his associates.
In a video message on Saturday, the Jathedar said the biggest question in the mind of every Sikh living across the world is how Amritpal could not be arrested despite a big police force in the state. It raises a question over the functioning of the police, he said.
Singh said if the preacher has already been arrested, then police should say so.
The fugitive's parents had earlier expressed apprehension that their son had already been held by police.
He also asked police to keep in mind that Sikh youths, who have been held in the Amritpal case, have not committed as big crimes as they have been projected to have committed.
Amritpal and his many associates have been booked in several cases by police.
The Akal Takht Jathedar has also called a special gathering of around 60 to 70 Sikh organisations, seminaries and Nihang organisations to discuss the situation in Punjab. No representative of political organisations has been invited.

A station house officer in Uttar Pradesh&rsquo;s&nbsp;Ambedkar Nagar district was suspended after he&nbsp;led a cavalcade of vehicles during his farewell procession on being transferred to another location.&nbsp;The display of flamboyance by the SHO had violated the social distancing rules laid down by the government.&nbsp;The matter came to light after a video of the cavalcade passing through a narrow road was widely shared on social media. In the clip, half-a-dozen motorbikes carrying policemen, none of them wearing masks, lead the way for an open-air black jeep on which three constables,&nbsp;who were&nbsp;also without masks, are standing in&nbsp;close proximity.&nbsp;

BJP: Satyagraha brazen display of arrogance by Congress

The BJP has slammed the Congress over its 'Sankalp Satyagraha', alleging that it was agitating against the country's Constitution and the court's verdict against Rahul Gandhi to justify his remarks against the &ldquo;entire backward community&rdquo; of the country.
"You are holding a Satyagraha for what? Is it to justify the way you insulted the entire backward community of the country, or against the court which sentenced you, or against the provision under which you have to be disqualified?", BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi asked the Congress to clarify in a press conference on Sunday
&nbsp;

Priyanka claimed that the BJP is nervous after seeing that Rahul Gandhi listens to the people of this country.

'Martyr father insulted in Parliament': Priyanka recalls Rajiv Gandhi's last rites to hit out at PM Modi

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi recalled moments from her father and former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's last rites to hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Asking if a martyred prime minister's son can insult the country, Priyanka Gandhi said, "This is an insult to that prime minister who gave his life."

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi recalled moments from her father and former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's last rites to hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government for repeatedly insulting her family.&nbsp;
She said that her brother Rahul walked behind the military truck carrying their father's coffin inspite of their mother Sonia Gandhi being worried about his security.&nbsp;
Priyanaka added she clearly remembers the day 32 years ago when her brother performed their father's last rites just few distance away from Rajghat - the venue of Congress' protest on Sunday.&nbsp;
Asking if a martyred prime minister's son can insult the country, Priyanka Gandhi said, "This is an insult to that prime minister who gave his life." "You have called a martyr's son anti-national, Mir Jafar, insulted his mother in Parliament. The prime minister in Parliament asks why this family does not use the 'Nehru' surname. You insult the entire family and the tradition of Kashmiri Pandits.
"But there is no case against you. You don't get a case or a two-year term and no one disqualifies you. Why?" she asked.
Priyanka Gandhi said till today, they have been insulting "our family and we remained silent but not any more".
She said a martyred prime minister's son who walked thousands of kilometres for national unity can never insult the country as the Congress held a nationwide protest against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha.
Priyanka Gandhi was addressing the 'Sankalp Satyagraha' at Rajghat -- the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi -- to protest against Rahul Gandhi's conviction in a 2019 defamation case and his subsequent disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
She said the time had come to raise a voice against an "arrogant government" as barring Rahul Gandhi from contesting elections does not bode well for the country and its democracy.
The Congress has launched a day-long satyagraha at all states and district headquarters to protest against Gandhi's conviction in a 2019 defamation case and his subsequent disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after a court in Gujarat's Surat convicted him in the defamation case. The disqualification will prevent Gandhi (52), a four-time MP, from contesting elections for eight years unless a higher court stays the conviction.
The Congress leader alleged that Rahul Gandhi was disqualified for questioning the prime minister on industrialist Gautam Adani and people will give a befitting reply to those behind the action.
"My family's blood has ploughed democracy in this country. We are ready to do anything for this country's democracy. Great leaders of the Congress laid the foundation of democracy in this country.
"Time has come and we are not the ones who will remain silent anymore," she told the outside Rajghat.
&nbsp;

The Congress leader called Prime Minister Modi a coward and challenged the government to file cases against her and throw her in jail as well.
