Canada Accuses India of Collusion in Khalistani Leader's Murder, Diplomatic Tensions Escalate

Canada has accused Indian government agents of collaborating with the Bishnoi gang to target Khalistani separatists, including the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned India's alleged involvement, calling it 'unacceptable,' while India has denied the accusations and withdrawn its envoy from Canada. The diplomatic row has intensified, with Canadian Sikhs expressing fear and political leaders like Jagmeet Singh calling for sanctions against India. Both countries are now locked in a standoff, with no clear resolution in sight.

Countries need to protect their national security, and if India sees Khalistani separatists as a threat, they have every right to take action.

 @IndependentMooseConservatismfrom British Columbia commented…1 day1D

It’s pretty rich for Trudeau to criticize India when he’s been so soft on separatist movements and letting foreign conflicts spill over into Canada.

 @8G8PRNVLiberalismfrom Quebec commented…1 day1D

If these allegations are true, it’s a serious violation of sovereignty and Canada needs to hold India accountable for this kind of interference.

 @6WJPG6HAnti-Imperialismfrom Ontario commented…1 day1D

This situation is just another example of how imperialist states like India will resort to violence and repression to maintain control over marginalized groups fighting for self-determination. Canada’s outrage feels hypocritical too, considering their own history of suppressing Indigenous movements. It’s clear neither state is really interested in justice or the rights of oppressed peoples.

Canada-India Diplomatic Clash Escalates Amid Allegations of State Terrorism

Canada has accused India of state terrorism, leading to a significant diplomatic fallout between the two nations. Canada expelled India's top envoy and five other diplomats, a move that has garnered international attention. The conflict stems from allegations surrounding the Indian government's involvement in the killing of a Canadian citizen. Despite efforts to avoid a full-blown diplomatic confrontation, tensions have escalated, with both countries now engaged in a tit-for-tat exchange. The situation raises questions about how other nations will respond to this growing rift.

 @TariffDaveAnti-Imperialismfrom Ontario commented…7hrs7H

This is yet another example of imperialist powers playing political chess while the lives of everyday people get caught in the crossfire.

 @PleasedSnailIndian Nationalismfrom British Columbia commented…7hrs7H

Canada needs to stop harboring anti-India elements like Khalistani extremists if they want to have good relations with us. India has every right to protect its sovereignty and security, and we won't tolerate foreign interference or baseless accusations.

This is not a diplomatic spat: it’s state terrorism, and Canada is right to call it out

https://theglobeandmail.com

Let us have no pretense, please, that there is still some question about its involvement. We are not in a court of law. No one’s liberty is at stake. And nothing in the behaviour of the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi entitles it to the benefit of the doubt.

Georgia Judge Blocks Election Certification Delays Amid Fraud Concerns

A Georgia judge has ruled that county election officials must certify election results by the legal deadline, regardless of any suspicions of fraud or errors. The decision comes after a Republican-led effort sought to give local officials more discretion in delaying certification. The judge emphasized that election officials have a 'mandatory fixed obligation' to certify results, reinforcing the legal framework established after the 2020 election. This ruling is seen as a blow to right-wing activists who have pushed for more control over the certification process.
