Indian consulate officials in Canada are reportedly under audio and video surveillance, with private communications intercepted. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) lodged a protest on Nov 2, terming it a "flagrant violation of diplomatic provisions." Indian diplomats face a hostile environment, including threats from extremist groups and inadequate security for consular camps. These camps, vital for services like life certificates for senior citizens, have been disrupted. India-Canada relations remain strained following mutual diplomat expulsions and allegations over the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Attacks on Hindu temples and secessionist activities further aggravated tensions.
