There is sharp increase of “India bad” news currently. Few years ago during their worst crackdown on Kashmir, western media completely ignored that, because US were using India against China. Even few months ago Biden went to India and explicitly told Modi US won’t talk about any Indian atrocities. But now India refused to get on board of US sanctions and warmongering, so are they being ditched? Maybe even consent is being manufactured for some sort of imperialist aggression, especially that Russia plan failed and China look more and more impossible?

    Well, other than convincing me that Nijjar might have been an actual terrorist, I still don’t see how it’s evidence that India did anything. The article about suspicious deaths even lays doubt on the claims: While his supporters claim that he was poisoned, reports suggest he had been suffering from blood cancer. The UK police later said they were not investigating the death because it was deemed “not suspicious”.

    Either way, the point still stands that there is no evidence that has been presented. The constant claim of “we have ‘credible’ evidence that we cannot share” is a song-and-dance that I’ve seen too many times. Am I saying India didn’t do it? No. Nor am I saying that they did it. The statements have had a negative impact for security both for Indian and Canadian citizens. At the very least, it would be in the public interest to release whatever evidence they claim they have.

      yea i agree with you, Trudeau should have let the investigation get to courts before announcing anything. i don’t know what his political motivations behind damaging relations with India was.

      Nijjar wasn’t a ‘left-wing’ separatist either I think. The Khalistan movement in general has been associated with very reactionary views.

      what i was saying is that, India was pretty interested in getting him and why it doesn’t sound too unreasonable.
