In a befitting reply to Canada National Security Advisor Jody Thomas' remarks on calling India among the top sources of foreign interference in Canada, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday used the famous idiom "the pot calling the kettle black" adding that if anybody has to complain, it should be India.
"I was....what shall I say, the phrase which came to my mind was actually a hindi phrase which was..."Ulta chor kotwal ko daantey.." (the pot calling the kettle black).
Responding to a media query, the EAM further said, "If anybody has a complaint... we have a complaint about Canada, You know what I said earlier, the space that they are giving to Khalistanis and to violent extremes. So I was very perplexed by what I heard."
Notably, Canada's NSA Thomas stated that India is among the top sources of foreign interference in Canada.
