  • India Canada Relations: Is Canada promoting Khalistani terrorists “from behind”?

    India Canada Relations: Pro-Khalistani elements have been “working independently” from Canadian soil for nearly 50 years under the guise of notions like ‘freedom of expression’ and ‘political support’, but Canada is facing threats, intimidation, intimidation by these terrorists. Maintains “complete silence” when it comes to violence and drug trafficking. News agency PTI has given this news quoting sources. Sources said that Air India’s flight Kanishk was bombed by Khalistani extremists in 1985 and it was one of the biggest terrorist attacks in the world even before the September 11, 2001 attacks in America. He said that due to the apparent “indifference” of Canadian agencies, the main accused in the attack, Talwinder Singh Parmar, and his group of Khalistani extremists escaped unharmed. If sources are to be believed, the irony is that Parmar is now the hero of pro-Khalistan terrorists in Canada and the banned group ‘Sikh for Justice’ has also named its campaign center after Parmar. In the last few years, Khalistani terrorists’ “morality has become higher” and they have started operating from Canada “without any fear”.

    Sources said that more than half of the terrorism cases reported in Punjab in the last decade have been found to be linked to Canada-based Khalistani terrorists. He said that after 2016, many murders targeting Sikhs, Hindus and Christians in Punjab were the work of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose murder has created a dispute between India and Canada. Sources said Canadian agencies allegedly never initiated any investigation against Nijjar and his friends Bhagat Singh Brar, Perry Dulai, Arsh Dalla, Lakhbir Landa and several others. Despite the pile of dead bodies in Punjab, he remains a “political activist”.

    Huge losses due to extortion gangs

    He said Punjab today is suffering huge losses due to extortion gangs run from Canada and ‘North American’ gangsters based in the country bring narcotics from Pakistan through drones and sell them across Punjab. He said that a part of this money goes to Khalistani terrorists in Canada. In Canada too, many pro-Khalistani terrorists are part of the drug trade and rivalry between different gangster gangs of Punjab is now common in Canada. Let us discuss here that pro-India Sikh leader Ripudaman Singh Malik was murdered in Surrey, Canada in 2022 and many people say that Nijjar was behind this murder, but Canadian agencies have failed to find the culprits and establish the real conspiracy. Allegedly no promptness was shown in exposing the matter. In this case, only two local people were made accused, who were not of Indian origin.

    Pro-India Sikhs thrown out of many big Gurudwaras in Canada

    Sources said the “backward promotion” of Khalistanis ensured that moderate and pro-India Sikhs were thrown out of many major gurdwaras in Canada, using the power and money power of pro-Khalistan terrorists. Emboldened by their “growing influence” in Canada, pro-Khalistan extremists began openly intimidating minority Indian Hindus there and defacing their temples. He said that openly threatening Indian missions and diplomats by Khalistanis in Canada is a serious development and challenges Canada’s obligations under the Vienna Convention. There appear to be different standards for assessing human rights in Canada.

    He said that even on small issues of Punjab, strong voices are raised from Canada, but there is “complete silence” on intimidation and violence, drug trafficking and extortion by the pro-Khalistan extremists sitting there. Due to which both the countries are being affected.

    What did Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau say?

    The dispute between New Delhi and Ottawa began when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on September 18 alleged the “possible” involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar’s murder in June. India strongly rejected the allegations as “absurd” and “motivated by vested interests” and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat, retaliating after Ottawa expelled an Indian official over the matter. Had done it. In view of increasing anti-India activities and politically supported hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, India on September 20 issued an advisory to its citizens and people considering traveling to the country to exercise “extreme caution”.

    A day later, India announced a temporary ban on issuing visas to Canadian citizens in view of the ‘security threats’ faced by its High Commission and Consulates in Canada.

  • India And Canada Row: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in support of India, said- Canada is a safe haven for terrorists

    Trudeau had made similar baseless allegations against Sri Lanka: Ali Sabri

    Ali Sabri said, the same thing justin trudeau Did it for Sri Lanka also. To say that there was genocide in Sri Lanka was a terrible and blatant lie. Everyone knows that there was no genocide in our country. Speaking on the relationship between Canada and Sri Lanka, Sabri said that earlier Trudeau’s ‘genocide’ comment has affected the relations between the two countries. This has really affected our relationship. The Foreign Ministry has a different opinion on this. The Ministry of Global Affairs has very clearly stated that genocide did not occur in Sri Lanka, while PM Trudeau as a politician stands up and says that genocide did occur. They themselves are contradictory to each other.

However, this will not be easy because the debt burden is huge. For this, the army has devised a strategy to do farming in partnership with the public. The report says that the army will do farming on more than 4 lakh hectares of government land in Pakistan’s Punjab province. That means an area almost three times larger than Delhi.

    Why is it being criticized: Critics say that by giving government land on lease, the Pakistani Army will become the owner of the largest amount of land in the country. The job of the army is to protect from external enemies and to become an assistant to the government when needed. Nothing more can be expected from him.

    Confusion over army’s plan: Many things are not clear in the plan prepared by the Pakistani Army in the government documents. For example, when will the fields become suitable for cultivation? The government land that will be taken on lease lies in the Cholistan desert. There is maximum shortage of water here. More than 1 lakh hectares of the land taken on lease is in desert. Lahore High Court had stayed the decision to transfer government land but later another bench passed it. It is also not clear whether the land that will be transferred will be under the control of the army or small landowners.

    Army has no knowledge of farming: Pakistan’s agriculture expert Asif Riaz Taj said that army officers have no knowledge of farming. They may know only traditional methods of farming or they will take the help of local farmers. There are thousands of agriculture graduates in the country who are unemployed.

  • America had given intelligence information to Canada regarding the murder of Nijjar, big revelation of New York Times

    American newspaper The New York Times, quoting sources, said in a report that after the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, America had provided intelligence information to Canada, but the information collected by Ottawa was more concrete and was based on He has accused India. The news broke on Saturday after a top US diplomat in Canada confirmed that intelligence was shared between Five Eyes partners that led Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to indict a Khalistani separatist in the killing on Canadian soil. Prompted to allege involvement of Indian agents.

    India called the allegation absurd

    India aggressively rejected the allegations as ‘absurd’ and ‘motivated’ and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in response to Canada expelling an Indian official over the matter. Nijjar, chief of the banned Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), was killed in Surrey, British Columbia on June 18. India had declared Nijjar a terrorist in 2020. America has requested India to cooperate with Canada in its investigation.

    American provided intelligence

    The New York Times, quoting unnamed officials, said that after the assassination, US intelligence agencies provided their Canadian counterparts with information that helped Canada conclude that India was involved. These officials said that it appears that Canadian officials monitored the conversations of Indian diplomats and this is the ‘evidence’ which indicates India’s involvement in this conspiracy. In an interview with CTV News channel, the US Ambassador to Canada, David Cohen, said that “intelligence was shared between the Five Eyes partners” based on which Trudeau raised a “potential” link between the Indian government and the killing of a Canadian citizen. Gave a public statement regarding the allegation of affair.

    Canadian officials had warned Nijjar

    Cohen said that I would say that this is a matter of shared intelligence. There was a lot of communication between Canada and America regarding this. The newspaper said that after Nijjar’s assassination, US officials told their Canadian counterparts that Washington had no prior information about the plot and that if they had any such information, they would immediately share it with Ottawa. According to Karte.khabar, the officials, on the condition of anonymity, said that the Canadian authorities had given a general warning to Nijjar but did not tell him that he was the target of some conspiracy by the Indian government.

    Cohen told CTV that America takes these allegations very seriously. He said in response to a question, and you know, if this is proven true, then it is a potentially very serious violation of the rules-based international order. The newspaper said that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged India to cooperate with the Canadian investigation, but US officials have largely tried to avoid any diplomatic tension with India. The New York Times said the revelations about US intelligence’s involvement threaten to embroil Washington in a diplomatic dispute between Canada and India at a time when it wants to make New Delhi its closest partner.

    America had expressed concern over the allegations

    Blinken had said at a press conference in New York on Friday that his country is ‘very concerned’ about the allegations made against India by Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and that Washington is ‘coordinating closely’ with Ottawa on the issue and Wants to see ‘accountability’ in the matter. Trudeau on Friday said his country shared evidence with India several weeks ago to make credible allegations about the involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and that Canada wants New Delhi to get to the bottom of the facts on this serious issue. Work with Ottawa to commit to reaching this goal.

    When asked whether Canada shared any information on this matter with India, the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi said, “Canada did not share any specific information on this matter then or before or after.” You know, as we’ve said or I think we’ve made clear, we are open to considering any specific information.

  • China may face a big blow, investigation into dumping of three products started, DGTR took suo motu cognizance

    The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), the investigation arm of the Commerce Ministry, has taken suo motu cognizance and initiated anti-dumping investigation into the import of three products from China. These products include frameless glass mirrors and fasteners. This step has been taken to protect Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) from cheap imports from the neighboring country.

    Generally, anti-dumping investigations are initiated on the basis of applications filed by domestic producers. But many times small industries are not aware of the procedures for this, in such a situation DGTR has started this investigation at its own level. According to three separate notifications, the DGTR has said it is investigating alleged dumping of telescopic channel drawers, frameless glass and fasteners. The objective of this step is to provide necessary protection to MSME producers from dumped goods from China.

    This is the biggest case of investigation initiated by China on its own. In 2000, dumping of dry batteries from China was investigated and duty was imposed for five years. A senior government official said, this is the first time that the investigation unit which keeps an eye on dumping has taken suo motu cognizance and started investigation into dumping of three products simultaneously.

    The Directorate had received information that Indian producers of these three products are facing tough competition due to cheap imports from China. According to a notification, a memorandum received from Highhope Furniture Fitting Manufacturers Associates Pvt Ltd, a consortium of 25 manufacturers of telescopic channel drawers, said there was a significant increase in imports from China, due to which Indian production has come down significantly. In this, the value of imports has been fixed at Rs 356 crore.

    Information on frameless glass was received from the All India Glass Manufacturers Association. Most of the producers in this category belong to MSME category. India has already imposed anti-dumping duty on many products from various countries including China. If the investigation reveals that imports of these products are causing injury to the domestic industry, the DGTR recommends imposition of anti-dumping duty. The final decision on imposing fees has to be taken by the Finance Ministry.
