Trudeau accuses Indian government of involvement in killing of Canadian Sikh leader

[DM07]

Anyone who knows about this topic, could you please shed some light on what the hell is the Indian government doing.

The Khalistani movement seemed dormant for so long and suddenly it seems that the government has created an imaginary enemy just to portray a strongman image.

But to go to this lengths and conducting murders on US soil is not the level of escalation I would expect even from the dumbfecks that is the current Indian government. So what exactly is their endgame. Just wholesale vilification of Sikhs or another show for their dumb supporters as some kind of Putin-esque strongmanship.

I just took a look at the list of countries that Canada has extradition treaties with and India is on the list. If Modi's government had serious evidence of criminal actions by Nijjar, why didn't they go through official channels? You can't declare that someone a terrorist without proper criminal charges; that is what the rule of law is about.

By the way, here is the entire list of countries for your own knowledge.

That's a surprisingly small list. Most of Europe and Latin America but besides that only a handful of countries. Interesting.

this has links to Canada, with the alleged role of Bishnoi's goons in extra judicial killings on behalf of the Indian state / rogue actors within the security establishment.

Only if India had a proper free press would you see more light shone on some pretty murky goings on.

Shah has been described as India's "second most powerful man" and is one of Modi's closest confidants. Before Tuesday, Canadian officials would only state on the record that the plot could be traced back to the "highest levels of the Indian government."

maybe my timeline is off, but did this ramp up after the farmers movement? i remember that the pro-govt media said that the movement was being driven by khalistanis.
and yes, the movement was (and still is) mostly dead, but it has been slightly revived, at least partly because the bjp and congress have been lobbing around this accusation freely - they got an MP elected this time.

Yes it was mostly around the farmers protest that the movement came back into the news. Protesting farmers were labelled Khalistanis because they were Sikh so this was just a ploy to discredit the entire movement. Also there has been accusations by the Indian Right wing that the Khalistanis from Canada are funding AAP (This rumour started to spread more after AAP won Punjab assembly elections.)
