India urges 'utmost caution' in Canada travel advisory as bilateral crisis escalates
India urges 'utmost caution' in Canada travel advisory as bilateral crisis escalates
Ottawa is investigating "credible allegations" the Indian government may be connected to the murder of a prominent advocate for an independent Sikh homeland.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm out of the loop. Anyone have a short synapses of what happened?
An important Sikh separatist leader was assassinated in Canada. Trudeau has said they have credible intelligence that says it looks like the Indian government was involved.
Now this has created a diplomatic spat. India isn't really saying Canada is dangerous, they're just being petty.
Also it's synopsis. Synapses are brain things. Sorry, I can't help myself but correct.
Lmao I was pretty sure I spelled it wrong but didn't give enough of a shit.
Thanks for the synopsis!
To be fair, I was like: that's clever! They are asking for the missing piece to bridge the neural gap and make the signal flow... it totally works!
On June 18th, Hardeep Singh Nijar, a prominent Sikh leader, was gunned down outside the Sikh temple where he is president.
His prominence was that he was calling for a referendum in India on Khalistan, in the aims of creating a Sikh controlled region in the Punjab region.
India accused him in 2016 of being behind a 2007 bombing in Punjab, except he's been in Canada since 1997. They took an Interpol notice on him, claiming that he ran terrorist training camps in Mission. (Vancouver resident here, the only religious terrorist camps in Mission are the Christian ones.)
It was in 1997 he claimed refugee status and used a fake passport to enter the country, the claim was rejected but he then married into citizenship.
His lawyer has stated that before his death, he was informed of threats against his life by CSIS.
Mind you, he's also a fucking Canadian citizen.
With this logic Bin laden was a prominent Islamic leader who was gunned down inside his home. He was not there in the planes on 9/11 but was still accused and implicated of crime.
Nijar was the leader of two designated terrorist organisations involved in the killing of multiple people. They literally have Gangs in Canada of organized crimes. You make it sound like he was a Saint. A simple google search will give you videos where he is preaching of killing and violence.
No evidence nothing, just a statement and everybody is on their high horse claiming it was the Indian Govt.
I quoted from the national post, a reliable if hard conservative newspaper. They don't ever flinch at calling immigrants terrorists. Notice that they accused him of immigration fraud.
Put something that proves he's a terrorist. I dare you.
