Expulsions of Indian diplomats from Canada renewed concern about incursions from foreign governments into Canada. The Agenda gathers a panel to discuss this break in Indo-Canadian relations.

It's both ways. By hosting Sikh separatists, Canada is clearly asking for trouble. I mean the West invaded Afghanistan by the under pretexts that Osama Bin Laden committed the 9/11 attacks since the Taliban refused to hand him over.

So they cannot complain. Because as far as the Bharati government sees it, these Sikh separatists undermine Bharati sovereignty.

Thank you.

Its actually not even comparable.

What India did, if indeed it did do it, was kill criminals on foreign soil.

Canada on the other hand is actively fomenting a secessionist movement of another sovereign nation on its sovereign land.

That's the equivalent of giving safe haven and a political voice and indeed state support and office to Quebec separatists in India by India.

Cheers, Doc

They see them as terrorists/criminals. Just as NATO countries saw Osama & the Taliban as criminals. In the end, one's terrorist is not another's terrorist. It's all subjective.

India provided no evidence

Asking for trouble is one thing - but would it give India the right to carry out targeted assassinations of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil?

I think Indian MEA and RAW are getting a bit bigger than their britches.

What if Canada did the same in India (if they really cared?). India couldn't do much of anything really, cards are stacked against them.

Turning over secessionists depends on power of the country involved and how friendly the relationship is.

Indians should think about this in an impartial, sober manner and not on jingoist terms. India cannot risk the downgrade of relationships with the entire "West", they all act and sound in unison, like bands of foxes and coyotes. As soon as proclamations from Trudeau were issued about found 'evidence', the US state dept. and half a dozen NATO countries all issued supportive official statements.

At stake are futures of millions of Indian foreign students and recent immigrants in Canada (deportation) and trade sanctions/embargoes if things really take a bad turn. All Indian arms programs will be affected. C-17s and Apaches will be sitting idle - among other things.

Bangladesh (Hasina) handed over Indian ULFA secessionist Anup Chetia at India's request, thereby helping India massively in the stability of the NE area. It was an "offer Hasina could not refuse" - given where the 'offer' came from.

Canada will not do this - they do not care about India's request (whether legit or not), they have their own legal precedents and principles. That is legally the crux of the matter.

India is not in the first world league, plain and simple. It depends on remittances from the West (and the Gulf, also stooges of the West) to run its economy. If instructed by the West - Gulfies will not waste a New York Minute before deporting hundreds of thousands of Indian workers - backfills from other countries will be very easy to find.

The sooner Indian politicians realize this and learn to control their bluster, the better (and smoother) their future will be.

Khalis took out a sitting PM of India, bombed a passenger plane and started an insurgency.

They've been celebrating these acts of terror, and threatening more... all while sitting in Canuckistan

They are legit targets.

I am super chuffed about it all, majaa aa gaya !
