India’s recalled High Commissioner, Sanjay Verma, has spoken out about the dangerous influence of Khalistani terrorists on Indian students in Canada. In an interview with NDTV, Verma explained how these extremists recruit students by offering them money and food, especially in a tough economic environment where jobs are hard to find. He urged Indian parents to regularly talk to their children living in Canada and guide them away from these harmful influences.
According to Verma, Khalistani terrorists often persuade Indian students to participate in anti-India protests by offering them financial support. They ask the students to take photos and videos while shouting anti-India slogans and disrespecting the Indian flag. Once involved, these students are encouraged to seek asylum in Canada, using the excuse that they would face punishment if they returned to India.

Verma appealed to Indian parents to keep a close eye on their children in Canada and to communicate with them regularly. He warned that there are many negative forces in Canada that try to lead Indian students in the wrong direction. His warning comes during a time of strained relations between India and Canada, with accusations from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about Indian government agents being involved with criminal gangs. India has strongly denied these claims and dismissed them as part of a political agenda.
