India has lodged a strong diplomatic protest with Canada following the activities of Khalistani extremists outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver. This incident, which included the burning of an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was sharply objected to by New Delhi.

India's protest was communicated through a note verbale to the Canadian High Commission. The diplomatic note expressed serious concerns over the demonstration and the freedom afforded to Khalistani elements in Canada.

New Delhi's actions come amidst strained relations due to accusations last year by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding India's involvement in the murder of Khalistan extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India categorically dismissed these allegations as 'absurd.'
