Recalling decades of robust bilateral relations nurtured by iconic Indian leaders including Nehru, Indira, Rajiv Gandhi, and Manmohan Singh, Tiwari expressed concern over the post-BJP era vulnerabilities faced by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Canada. Reports of assaults on them and alleged harboring of terrorists have heightened fears.

He anticipates robust anti-terrorism commitments from the Modi-Carney summit. Full security assurances for Indians abroad are a key ask.

In other developments, Tiwari hailed the bail for IYC chief Uday Bhanu Chib in a protest-related case as a triumph of justice over fabricated charges. This, he said, exposes BJP’s curbs on free speech.

Regarding the excise policy acquittals of Kejriwal and Sisodia, Tiwari suggested electoral compulsions in poll-bound states influenced the verdict. BJP’s opportunistic politics was criticized, aligning with Pawan Khera’s comprehensive critique.

As diplomatic talks unfold, Tiwari’s statements reflect broader Congress narratives on foreign policy and domestic justice.
