India, Canada Stand-Off: Is Trudeau Giving In To Khalistani Separatism?

Published On: October 15, 2024 - Six Indian diplomats, including High Commissioner Sanjay Verma, were recalled by India from Canada. This came after Canada claimed that 'agents of the Government of India' used criminals - referring specifically to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang - to 'target South Asian community... specifically pro-Khalistani elements' in Canada. Many within Canada are seeing this move by Trudeau to bolster his falling ratings as Canada’s elections comes closer. But it has also once again brought into focus Canada’s encouragement of Sikh terrorism. India has strongly rejected what it calls ‘preposterous imputations’ by Canada. The Trudeau administration 'has not shared a shred of evidence with the Government of India, despite many requests...' says the Govt of India. So what has brought on this latest round of allegations from Canada ? Discussing the dip in the relationship and the fallout of the allegations are News9 Plus Editor Sandeep Unnithan, along with Amb. K P Fabian, Former Acting High Commissioner of India to Canada; Dr. Monica Verma, Assistant Professor, International Relations; Robindra Sachdeva, Foreign Affairs Expert, and TV9 Network’s Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul.
