Canada’s High Commission said Thursday it was to “adjust” the number of its diplomats in India after threats on social media, as a diplomatic row with New Delhi escalates.
“With some diplomats having received threats on various social media platforms, Global Affairs Canada is assessing its staff complement in India,” the mission said in a statement.
“In light of the current environment where tensions have heightened, we are taking action to ensure the safety of our diplomats,” Canada’s mission said in a statement.
“With some diplomats having received threats on various social media platforms, Global Affairs Canada is assessing its staff complement in India,” it added.
“As a result, and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to temporarily adjust staff presence in India.”
