Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has urged the Central Government to raise an objection against a controversial video of a parade in Canada’s Brampton depicting the celebration of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi‘s assassination. Baghel spoke in a press briefing and called on the Indian government to take notice and object to the display of Khalistani supporters celebrating Gandhi’s assassination and Operation Blue Star in Canada. Indira Gandhi served as the first and only woman Prime Minister of India, from January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until her assassination in October 1984. She was shot dead by two of her own bodyguards at her official residence on October 31, 1984. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed concern over the reports and said that there is a larger underlying issue about the space which is given to separatists and it is not good for relationships.Earlier in the day, High Commissioner for Canada in India Cameron MacKay condemned the celebration of the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and categorically condemned these activities. Congress has also strongly condemned the glorification of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi‘s assassins during the parade.
