India summons Canada High Commissioner after inflammatory Khalistan posters

India has summoned the Canadian High Commissioner to India, Cameron MacKay, over the recent appearance of inflammatory posters promoting Khalistan in the Canadian province of Punjab. The posters have sparked anger in India, where Khalistan is seen as a separatist movement.

The posters, which were found in several cities in Punjab, Canada, featured images of weapons and calls for the creation of an independent Sikh state. They also named several Indian diplomats and accused them of being responsible for the killing of a Sikh separatist leader.

India has called the posters "highly provocative" and "deeply offensive." The Indian government has summoned MacKay to express its "strongest protest" against the posters and to demand that Canada take action against those responsible.

Canada has condemned the posters and said that it does not support the Khalistan movement. The Canadian government has also said that it will take action against those responsible for the posters.

The incident has strained relations between India and Canada. India has warned that it will take "appropriate action" if Canada does not take steps to address the issue.

Khalistan is a Sikh separatist movement that seeks to create an independent Sikh state in the Indian state of Punjab. The movement has been active since the 1980s, and it has been responsible for several violent attacks.

The Indian government has been opposed to the Khalistan movement, and it has taken steps to suppress the movement. In 1984, the Indian government launched an operation to flush out Sikh separatists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab. The operation resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Sikhs, and it further inflamed tensions between Sikhs and Hindus in India.

The Khalistan movement has lost much of its support in recent years, but it still has a small following in Canada and other countries. The recent appearance of the inflammatory posters in Canada has raised concerns that the movement may be gaining new momentum.
