Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Recently several Canadian citizens have been arrested or harassed while travelling in India.
There is evidence that the Indian authorities are detaining individuals without charge. Coincidentally this harassment and unfounded police interrogation are directed particularly at Canadians of Sikh origin.
Will the minister on behalf of the Government of Canada send a strong message to the Indian government to put an end to this practice and human rights violations with minorities in India?
