  • India Canada Row: Foreign Minister Jaishankar lashed out at Canada, cited this as the reason for the deteriorating relations between the two countries

    India Canada Row:India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said Canada’s allegations regarding the death of a Khalistani separatist were discussed during his meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken a day earlier. He said that after the meeting both the delegations shared better information. Jaishankar was asked at think-tank Hudson Institute whether the issue of Canadian allegations had come up during his meeting with Blinken at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department. In response to this he said, yes, I did that.

    India’s concerns explained to America
    Jaishankar said that the American side shared its assessment of the entire situation and he explained to the Americans the gist of India’s concerns. He said, I think hopefully we will both come away with better information. Tension between India and Canada had increased after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations regarding the possible involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 in British Columbia. India had declared Nijjar a terrorist in 2020.

    First privately then publicly Trudeau accused India
    India rejected the allegations as absurd and motivated and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in retaliation for the expulsion of an Indian official in Ottawa over the matter. Jaishankar said that the Canadian Prime Minister had made some allegations first privately and then publicly. Jaishankar said, our response to him privately and publicly was that his allegation was not in accordance with our policy. If he, his government has some relevant specifics, we will look into it.

    Canadian land is being used against India
    Jaishankar said that for India, Canada has become a country where organized crime from India has got mixed with people smuggling, got mixed with separatism and violence. He acknowledged that before the Canadian Prime Minister’s comments, there had been a lot of (discussion) between India and Canada on this issue. The minister alleged that the security situation in Canada is not good. He said that Indian diplomats have been given open threats and they do not feel safe.

    Jaishankar said, I don’t think most Americans, maybe Canadians, look much different. For us, it has certainly been a country where there is a mix of organized crime, people smuggling as well as violence, terrorism from India. He said, due to this, visa operations in Canada were also forced to be temporarily suspended. So, as I said, you know, often countries look very different, depending on how you look at them, but there is a problem with Canada.

  • India a growing economic power, its role on geopolitical issues: Justin Trudeau

    India a growing economic power, its role on geopolitical issues: Justin Trudeau

    Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said, only last year we presented the Indo Pacific Strategy to India.

    New Delhi :

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that we should engage with the Indian government constructively and seriously. India is a growing economic power and has a role to play in geopolitical issues. He again reiterated that a Canadian citizen has been murdered on Canadian soil and there is a strong allegation that an agent of the Indian government has committed this murder. This is something that every democratic country needs to take seriously.

    The first question asked to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is meeting the Foreign Minister of India. Have you been given any assurance by the US administration that Secretary Blinken will raise the allegations you have made regarding India’s role in Nijjar’s murder with the Indian Foreign Minister?

    In response to this, Trudeau said, yes, Americans are with us in talking to the Indian government about this. It is important that they cooperate in this investigation. A Canadian citizen has been murdered on Canadian soil and it is a strong allegation that an agent of the Indian government has committed this murder. This is something that every democratic country needs to take seriously. We are proceeding in this matter in a legal manner and very responsibly… with all our partners, including the Government of India.

    After this he repeated the same thing in French also. Obviously this was to convince his audience domestically that he stood by his word.

    “We are very keen to build closer relations with India.”

    The second question asked to Trudeau was that despite such allegations by Canada, Blinken is meeting the Foreign Minister of India, what does this reveal?

    Trudeau responded very positively that it is very important that we all engage constructively and seriously with the Indian government. India is a growing economic power and has a role to play in geopolitical issues. Only last year we presented the Indo Pacific Strategy to India. We are very keen to build closer relations with India, but at the same time, as a law-abiding country, we need to emphasize that India needs to work with Canada so that we can take action on this matter .
