Indian parents sending students to Canada are advised to be cautious, according to a warning from India's High Commissioner Sanjay Verma. Verma, who was recalled from Canada, highlighted poor living conditions and the risk of radicalization by Khalistani extremists. He noted that Indian students often live in cramped accommodations, with up to eight individuals sharing a room, and are pressured into participating in anti-India protests.
Verma also alleged that the Canadian government is encouraging Khalistani separatists and that some operatives may be affiliated with Canada's security agency, CSIS. He urged Indian parents to keep in regular touch with their wards studying in Canada and be vigilant about the influences surrounding them.
