International Desk: India-Canada tension is not stopping in any way. The two countries have already expelled each other’s top diplomats. India has gone a step further by suspending visa services for Canadian citizens. This time, India has made a serious complaint against Canada.
The country has alleged that Canada is a safe haven for terrorists. News from CNN India’s foreign ministry spokesman, Arindam Bagchi, said last Thursday that Canada needs to be concerned about its international reputation in light of its explosive allegations.
Journalist Arindam Bagchi also said, “If you talk about reputation and damage to reputation, you have to talk about Canada.” The country has a growing reputation as a safe haven for terrorist extremists and organized crime. At the G-20 summit, there were signs that something was going to happen directly between Canada and India.
At that time, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi scolded Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Modi directly expressed his displeasure to Trudeau over the attack by pro-Khalistan supporters on the Indian Embassy in Canada and anti-India activities in the country. After that, when Justin Trudeau returned home from India without mentioning any specific reason, Canada announced that they had suspended the trade agreement with India.
It was then informed by India that Canada had taken this decision on political issues. Then, last Monday (September 18), Trudeau made the first direct explosive claim against India. On that day in Parliament, he said that the Indian government may be behind the killing of Canadian Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijja.
In Canada’s House of Commons meeting, Trudeau said that Canada’s intelligence agencies have found “credible” evidence of the Indian government’s involvement in Hardeep’s murder. After that, the relationship between the two countries is now at its lowest.
