Injectable diclofenac is not banned anywhere. The particular brand voveran is banned due to controversy of its solvent named transcutol-P. I think its just a battle of pharma companies. Between novartis and troiika. The later company produces same molecule under brand name dynapar.

It's safe and very commonly used. Government has not banned the drug. It's a 30-40 year old drug. Some ignorant doctors and chemists buy it from cheap and low quality companies, so the impurities are more responsible for reactions rather than the drug itself.
