Days after Canada recalled 41 diplomats from India, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar explained the reason India asked Canada to scale back its diplomatic presence. He stated that India brought up diplomatic parity due to concerns about "continuous interference" in the country's affairs by Canada. Notably, India has 21 diplomats in Canada, while the North American country had 62 before the 41 were recalled.
