New Delhi, July 5

India summoned the Canadian High Commissioner here on Tuesday while raising the issue with the foreign offices of the US and Australia over the recent spurt in pro-Khalistani activities that climaxed with separatists issuing a video showing the Indian Consulate of San Francisco on fire.

Even as the entire political class here condemned the arson at San Francisco, the US Ambassador was not similarly summoned, but sources said the issue was “strongly raised” with the US. It is suspected that a group of Khalistan radicals set the Indian Consulate on fire on July 2, but the damage was quickly contained by the local Fire Department and there were no reports of any major damage or harm to the staffers. The video emerged after Khalistani activists put it on WhatsApp groups in “celebration”.
