'We were surprised. It looks strange to us. But nonetheless, what I say is that these are actions which yet again highlight the hypocrisy of Canada towards freedom of speech,' the external affairs ministry spokesman said.

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.

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