Earlier in June, the display of a controversial tableau depicting the assassination of former PM Indira Gandhi during a 'Nagar Kirtan' procession in Brampton, Canada, had sparked widespread outrage.

Not only Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and the High Commissioner of Canada in India have taken exception to it, but the Punjabi diaspora settled in Canada too have condemned the tableau.

Canada-based Friends of Canada and India Foundation president Maninder Singh Gill had said, "I strongly condemn this kind of act by the Khalistani people as this will create a big problem in Canada for the coming generations. We support 'Nagar Kirtan' but not such things where terrorism and hatred is being promoted."
