India Slams Canada for Blocking Media Outlet Over Jaishankar’s Press Conference

| Updated: November 7, 2024 20:37

India has accused Canada that it had blocked an Australian media outlet hours after it aired the press conference of External Affairs Minister (EAM) Dr S Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Penny Wong.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Canada’s action of blocking the social media accounts and certain pages of Australia Today shows hypocrisy regarding freedom of speech.

“We understand that the social media handles, pages of this particular outlet, which are important diaspora outlets, have been blocked and are not available for viewers in Canada. This happened just an hour or few hours after this particular handle carried the press conference of EAM Dr S Jaishankar with Penny Wong,” Jaiswal said. 

He further said, “We were surprised. It looks strange to us. But nonetheless, what I say is that these are actions which yet again highlight the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech.” 

He said that Jaishankar, during his media interactions in Australia, had addressed the allegations made by Canada against India without presenting any specific evidence.

“You would have seen that the External Affairs Minister, in his media engagements, spoke about three things. One was Canada making allegations and a pattern has developed without any specific evidence,” he said.
