While India had restored certain categories of the visa last month, e-visa and tourist visas remained under suspension due to the threat to Indian diplomats from Khalistani groups. According to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, the restoration of visas for Canadians was due to the \u201csituation becoming more secure\u201d. However, the step does not necessarily mean a restoration of normal ties. After India cancelled visas for Canadians and demanded that Canada <strong>cut down (Make a reduction in)<\/strong> its diplomatic strength by two-thirds for \u201cparity purposes\u201d, Canada had flown out more than 40 of its diplomats and their family members and reduced its visa issuance capacity as well. With travel visas <strong>curtailed (Place restrictions on) <\/strong>on both sides, business and investment ties too suffered, especially as Canada had already suspended talks for a Free Trade Agreement after the killing of the Khalistani leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. While Mr. Jaishankar and the Canadian Foreign Minister met each other in the U.S. in September, political ties have virtually shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, a new controversy, sparked by Washington, has emerged over a report that Indian government agencies were plotting to target another Khalistani leader, Sikhs for Justice leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in the U.S. Like Nijjar, Pannun, a U.S.-Canadian dual national, is wanted in India for <strong>inciting (Provoke or stir up) <\/strong>violence against Indians and Indian diplomats, and for recently issuing a \u201cwarning\u201d to travellers not to take \u201cAir India\u201d flights after November 19. This <strong>menacing (making you think that someone is going to do something bad) <\/strong>statement <strong>harks back (Go back to something earlier)<\/strong> to the bombing of Air India Flight 182 out of Montreal, which killed all 329 on board, in 1985. A White House statement confirmed news reports that U.S. officials had raised the issue during Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s visit to Washington in June. This indicates that the issue over Khalistani separatists is far from dying down, despite New Delhi\u2019s conversations with western partners at the 2+2 dialogues with the U.S. and Australia, respectively, and Mr. Jaishankar\u2019s recent visit to the U.K. In sharp contrast to the recent past, the government, which had rejected the Canadian allegations as \u201cabsurd and motivated\u201d, has been surprisingly accommodating of the U.S.\u2019s allegations. The External Affairs Ministry issued a statement that said India is examining the \u201cU.S. inputs\u201d and would take \u201cnecessary follow-up action\u201d. While these are no doubt matters of national security, it is time the government <strong>shed (To remove) <\/strong>some of the secrecy surrounding its dual responses and <strong>crafted (to make something, especially in a skilled way) <\/strong>its future course of action more <strong>coherently (clearly and in a way that is easy to understand)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know the meanings of difficult words published in the editorial of November 24, 2023?
