New Delhi, June 16 -- Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri lashed out at the pro-Khalistan protestors holding demonstrations ahead of the G7 summit in Canada. Puri termed them as "kiraye ke tatto" (protestors for hire) and said that they should not be taken "seriously".

"Leave that aside, another video is going viral tomorrow. They (pro Khalistani supporters) staged a dharna from the neighbouring country (Pakistan) where they get funding, but when they did not get the funding, they turned on them. Yeh jo kiraye ke tatto hain, don't take them seriously", Hardeep Singh Puri said while speaking to the reporters on Monday.

Following his visit to Cyprus, the Prime Minister will travel to Kananaskis, Canada, to attend the G7 Summit on June 16-17...
