He further added that any measure to close visa facilities in Canada or reducing the visa facilities in India to visit Canada will cause a lot of hardships to the kith and kin of millions of Indian families and students residing in Canada. “We can’t make common citizens of both countries to suffer owing certain fringe elements,” Sahney said.

Dr. Jaishankar assured that India can consider resuming the visa services in Canada as soon as Canadian government ensures full security to the Indian diplomats.
