Key Points
With the US virtually asking India and Canada to bilaterally sort out the diplomatic row while seriously investigating the allegations over terrorist Nijjars killing, the ball is now squarely in Ottawas court..
Either Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has to legally substantiate the credible allegations made against India a fortnight ago in Parliament or take back his accusation that India ordered a hit on Sikh terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia..
While the Narendra Modi government is maintaining radio silence on diplomatic channels with Canadian propaganda media stating that the allegation was based on surveillance (interception) of phones of Indian diplomats, New Delhi is waiting to act on the legal proof of Indian involvement in the Surrey killing if and when provided by Ottawa..
While External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar discussed the Canadian affair with his US counterparts this week in Washington, the Indian response to Canada was the expulsion of Olivier Sylvestre, an official representative of Canadian Intelligence in India, suspension of visa services for Canadian nationals and seeking diplomatic parity in respective embassies as per Vienna Convention. . Clearly, the Indian strong action took Canada by surprise with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating that he did not want escalation with India and his Foreign Minister now saying that Ottawa wants a stronger diplomatic footprint in India..
All thanks to miniscule radical Sikh extremists and gangsters taking shelter in Canada, the other Indian diaspora including the large student community will be made to suffer with suspension of visa services and withdrawal of diplomatic staff..
