India Canada Tension: There has been a lot of rift in the relations between India and Canada. India has taken a big step and recalled all its diplomats from Canada after declaring an Indian diplomat as a 'Person of Interest' in the ongoing investigation after the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Compared to the last several years, relations between India and Canada have reached their worst condition. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is standing in support of Khalistanis, is also continuously spewing venom against India. However, after messing with India, he is now surrounded in his own house and he is being harassed a lot. The Canadian media itself has lost faith in Trudeau and is commenting harshly on him. Canadian media have accused Trudeau of failing to provide the public with solid evidence.
In an article published in the Canadian newspaper 'The National Post', senior journalist and author John Ivison said that Canada has allowed Sikh extremism to flourish within its borders. He said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has allowed migrant politics to inappropriately influence foreign policy and criticized the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for making serious statements against India without providing any evidence. Let us tell you that the Canadian Police had alleged that the agents of the Indian Government are involved in serious criminal activity in Canada. India has rejected Canada's false allegations. The article said that this was a highly unusual public statement by Canadian police and that these allegations, made without any evidence, were notable. “It is to be hoped that the RCMP will not allow itself to be used for such clearly partisan purposes,” it said.
'Why was Nijjar not arrested?'
In the article, the author further made serious allegations against the Trudeau government, writing, “Canada has allowed Sikh extremism to flourish, such as the Khalistani parade float that celebrated the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which roamed the streets of Toronto in 2023.” The government claims it is powerless because of Charter rights that protect free speech. But the charter does not explain why law enforcement has turned a blind eye to worse excesses. The Indian government alleges that Nijjar ran a terrorist training camp for the extremist Khalistan Tiger Force, yet he has not been arrested or charged.'' The article also said that India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified individuals in Canada who are accused of extortion, terrorism, smuggling and money laundering.
'Trudeau failed to provide solid evidence'
At the same time, Canadian journalist and senior correspondent of National Telegraph, Delild Boardman, has also targeted the Trudeau government on this issue. “Justin Trudeau has again failed to provide the public with concrete evidence following escalating tensions with India,” he said. He said the issue has escalated to the point of expelling diplomats, yet we're still on me. Trust me, brother is in a phase. “This could cause Canada to lose billions of dollars in trade. All this is being done to appease Jagmeet (Singh) and his gang of Khalistani ministers,” Broadman tweeted. At the same time, the Canadian media is also asking difficult questions to the MPs there, to which they are not able to answer. When journalists asked Trudeau's ally, Sikh Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh, how the harsh sanctions being imposed against India would affect Canada's economic interests, he did not give a clear answer and also ended his press conference. This also caused a lot of embarrassment to Canada.
