India should take Canada allegations ‘seriously’: US
The United States on Tuesday called on India to take seriously allegations by Canada of an assassination plot, as tensions escalated between the two US partners.
"When it comes to the Canadian matter, we have made clear that the allegations are extremely serious and they need to be taken seriously. And we wanted to see the government of India cooperate with Canada in its investigation," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
"Obviously, they have not," he said. "They have chosen an alternate path."
India and Canada on Monday expelled each other's ambassadors as Ottawa alleged that Indian involvement in a campaign against Sikh separatists went beyond what was previously known, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying New Delhi had made a "fundamental error."

India-Canada row overshadows growing trade ties, investment
A diplomatic falling out between India and Canada over allegations that New Delhi was behind the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist threatens to overshadow increasingly close trade and investment ties between the countries.

A diplomatic falling out between India and Canada over allegations that New Delhi was behind the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist threatens to overshadow increasingly close trade and investment ties between the countries.
Last year India responded angrily after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused it of involvement in the murder of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who had been wanted by New Delhi and was shot dead in June 2023 near his home in Vancouver.
Indian authorities briefly curbed visas for Canadians and forced Ottawa to withdraw several diplomats.
Relations slowly improved, but this week both sides expelled the other's top envoys and other diplomats after India said its ambassador was among the "persons of interest" named in the murder probe.
With neither side appearing ready to back down -- Trudeau on Monday branded India's behaviour "unacceptable", while New Delhi has called the allegations "ludicrous" -- a prolonged diplomatic rift could eventually impact economic ties.
"As this dispute drags on, both nations will need to carefully manage their actions to avoid a full-blown economic fallout," Ajay Srivastava of the New Delhi-based Global Trade Research Initiative said in a brief. India's trade with Canada is small in comparison to some of New Delhi's biggest trading partners, but it has grown steadily.
Bilateral merchandise trade rose from US$6.36 billion to US$8.27 billion between the 2019 and 2023 fiscal years, according to India's commerce ministry.
And so far it appears to have weathered the storm, rising again, marginally, to US$8.4 billion in fiscal 2024.
India's biggest exports to Canada include pharmaceuticals, steel and iron products and electrical machinery.
New Delhi, in turn, depends on Canadian fertiliser.
"I don't foresee a major impact on trade immediately," Srivastava told AFP.
"Companies in both countries export and import based on their needs. Unless either India or Canada choose to ban trade in some segments, it is unlikely that bilateral trade will be hurt".
The diplomatic dispute, however, is unlikely to help the countries' efforts to reach a free-trade agreement.
Talks on the proposed deal were put on hold last year, before the row broke out, but the possibility of any resumption seems remote before the political issues are addressed.
India is the world's fastest-growing major economy, and Canada ranks 17th in terms of foreign direct investment into the country.
Canadian pension funds have cumulatively invested around US$55 billion in India, New Delhi's foreign affairs ministry said in June.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board currently holds a more than one percent stake in companies such as food delivery app Zomato, and private-sector lender Kotak Mahindra Bank.
And the investment goes both ways.
India-based companies have invested billions of dollars and created thousands of jobs in Canada, industry associations estimate, including in some of its top IT giants TCS and Infosys.
Top Canadian firms, including aircraft manufacturer Bombardier, also have a strong presence in India.
Indian billionaire Gautam Adani in September said he discussed with Bombardier's chief Eric Martel "transformative partnerships" in aircraft services and defence.
More than two-fifths of international students in Canada come from India, contributing US$7 billion annually to the education sector, according to estimates made by CARE Ratings.
It remains to be seen how much the row may hurt the inflow of students.
Canadian study permit applications from India dropped around 15 percent last year, with the row erupting in September 2023.
But other factors also contributed, including a weaker jobs market and tougher Canadian regulations on cost-of-living requirements for students.

These so called developed and powerful countries have lost their credibility totally. A guy who threatens indirectly to do troubles in passenger planes by urging Shikhs not to travel in plane on a particular day is invited in Whitehouse just before the Indian prime minister's visit. This is a cheap gimmick which some rogue country will practice. This is regressing to a new low level and a testimony to US's frustration and losing power. It is rapidly becoming irrelevant.

Problem with them is that they do not understand that. They still try to act like a powerful country which they used to be a decade and half. They try to hit over their weight and get humiliated.

Buddy they ARE taking action. Canada is not a 3rd or 4th world country.
They will do whatever it takes - don't worry.
Bad-mouthing Canada is pointless. The Western powers are all in it together.
Indians can blame Modi for foisting this Goonda Mob philosophy in a 1st world country and the West will NOT stand for it - helplessly watching India violating their sovereignty.
Things will get a lot worse and Modi, Mota bhai, Jaishankar, Doval will all stand down and cower. We will soon see kaun kisika baap hai.
Backoffice business will be the first to go.
The West together can bring India to its knees. Just you watch. Bangladesh situation was just a taste.
There were official statements from the US, UK, New Zealand and other govts. supporting Canada's position and against India.
You guys are too young and don't know how the world order works.
It doesn't work like what chaiwallah thinks it does.

Some of you Indians have been watching the Republic World propaganda too much.
You will soon see what reality is like.
It is breathtaking to see how a majority of the populace of a country like India (even Canadian Indians) can get duped into jingoistic "patriotism" by a few RSS operatives.
If you like India so much then go back there.

3rd rate or not, the West has unity. That is the crux of the matter.
India alone cannot stand up to the entire West.
A trade embargo on India by the West will ruin Indian economy.
Like I keep saying - just keep watching what happens...
