Yup, and they have US and UK concerned
Yeah, not a good thing when a theocratic fascist who might not be completely sane is in control of the second most populous country in the world, which also happens to be a nuclear power..
What're they fighting about anyway?
Trudeau says there is credible evidence to suggest that India assassinated a Canadian citizen in Canada. But don't quote me I've only read headlines.
Trudeau said he has credible evidence of assassination of one sikh leader, who is a Khalistani separatist. India had branded him terrorist.
Canada has also suspended one Indian diplomat and ended FTA.
Now they are demanding that India cooperate with them in the investigation.
While India may or may not be involved in assassination, it seems Canada has jumped the gun if they're already investigating and needs India's cooperation.
US and UK are obviously concerned and Australia has officially demanded if India has any role in it. India officially rebutted the allegations and both all political parties are onboard this rebuttal.
If you put India in frame, then a lot of Indians are celebrating that person's assassination as he was a separatist. Some feel it's likely that India has hand in it.
If you put Canada in frame, it looks like Trudeau has intentionally jumped the gun to win over Sikh vote bank in Canada, which are pro-Khalistan, unlike Sikhs in India who are mostly against it.
If I dare to provide an opinion, it feels more like a political blow-off, especially given the fact that India doesn't find Canada as good enough aly and Trudeau needs to push for his political campaign.
This isn't the first time Trudeau tried anti India rhetoric, he even did while in India when he tried supporting Khalistan there.
This isn't the first time when India tried to brush aside the issue either and called Canada's Khalistan claims bullshit.
Pretty much that
