New Delhi, Jul 25 (PTI) India on Thursday asked Canada to take action against anti-India elements operating from its soil.

"We have seen these reports. When a democracy adopts different yardsticks to measure or implement the rule of law and freedom of expression, it only exposes its own double standard," Jaiswal said.

"We expect Canada to take action against anti-India elements who have repeatedly threatened Indian leaders, institutions, airlines and diplomats by violence," he said.
