India criticizes Canada for blocking Australian media outlet that broadcast the press conference of EAM Jaishankar and counterpart Penny Wong, highlighting hypocrisy towards freedom of speech.

Canada has banned an Australian media outlet from broadcasting a briefing by India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. The event, where Jaishankar criticised Canada's allegations and its treatment of anti-India elements, has raised questions regarding Canada's commitment to freedom of speech, sparking a reaction from the Ministry of External Affairs.

Randhir Jaiswal said that Canada has banned an important diaspora outlet 'Australia Today', which is no longer available for viewers in Canada.

Responding strongly to reports of social media handles and pages of an Australian news outlet being blocked in Canada, India has said such actions highlight the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech.
