High level of intolerance: MEA on cancellation of Canada's Diwali event

Reacting to Canadian Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre's move to cancel Diwali celebrations at their parliament, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the incident highlights "high level of intolerance and extremism". Poilievre cancelled Diwali celebrations amid ongoing diplomatic row with India, following which he received backlash from an Indian diaspora group.
