As diplomatic relations between India and Canada continue to strain, Mehra’s comments reflect the growing concerns within the Indian diaspora about the impact of political tensions on the community’s ties with their home country
In a recent interview, Indian businessman and YouTuber Kushal Mehra, who divides his time between India and Canada, addressed the growing tensions between the two nations, indiatoday.in reported. Mehra spoke candidly about the sentiments within the Indian community in Canada and shared his views on how India should respond to the ongoing diplomatic row.
“Some OCI cards have been canceled, but I believe the Indian government needs to intensify its efforts on this front.”
— Kushal Mehra
Mehra emphasized the need for the Indian government to take a firm stance on the issue of Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards, particularly concerning individuals with pro-Khalistan leanings. He suggested that India should clearly communicate that anyone supporting Khalistan or engaging in related activities should not be entitled to the benefits of OCI status.
