India asks Canada to apologise for derogatory comments on armed forces
Friday, 28th May 2010
A day after the home ministry reacted sharply to the demeaning language used by Canada against Indian security and defence forces and threatened retaliatory action, the external affairs ministry upped the ante against the country with external affairs minister SM Krishna terming Canada’s response “unacceptable”.
While Krishna appears keen to avoid a full-blown diplomatic controversy, the home ministry looked in no mood to relent. “We have written to the external affairs ministry. If the Canadians don’t respond, we will retaliate,” home secretary GK Pillai said on Thursday.
