Maria Zakharova drew attention to the strange decision of the Canadian authorities.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry revealed a scandalous fact from the biography of the new High Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
We are talking about Birju Dattani. Until recently, he oversaw human rights issues in the province of Yukon. Now he has been promoted and given similar tasks, but on a national scale.
Zakharova pointed out in her Telegram channel that Dattani has a rather scandalous biography. There are grounds to consider him an anti-Semite, the diplomat claims.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said the future official had distributed anti-Semitic articles under the pseudonym Mujahid while studying in Britain.
In addition, Dattani participated in events with a member of the radical Islamist group, Adnan Khan.
Zakharova noted that Israeli organizations in Canada were discouraged when they learned of Dattani's appointment.
The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added that his appointment was announced on June 25, but the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which is “sensitive to jokes, dances and songs that hint at disrespect,” does not comment on the Canadian authorities’ decision.
Earlier, Dmitry Medvedev gave a detailed description of Mark Rutte, Kaja Kallas and Ursula von der Leyen.
