Well looks like the other shoe has fallen. Credible and Irrefutable evidence provided.

Persona non Grata includes the Indian High Commissioner - wow!

Seems like Indian incumbent govt. and Modi aren't afraid of the West (or losing Backoffice business). :)

If the West is alienated, all the cronies (S'pore, Japan, UAE, Qatar and most of ASEAN) will fall in line as well.

Look at how Indian Godi Media is reacting. Indian Hindutvas should be banned from immigrating to Canada. Canadian Hindutvas are threatening to vote out Trudeau! :D

The gall of these people! Any connection to hate groups is immediate cause for deportation in both US and Canada. And as we all know Hindutva is a hate movement.

No more Hindutva rogues should be allowed in Canada!

Indian Hindutva movement is a Cancer all over North America and should be targeted and rooted out.

India expels Canadian diplomats, withdraws envoy to Ottawa: foreign ministry

NEW DELHI/MONTREAL: India said on Monday it was expelling six top Canadian diplomats after withdrawing its own envoy to Ottawa because he was named among “persons of interest” following the killing of a Sikh separatist leader.

India “decided to expel” six diplomats including Ottawa’s acting high commissioner Stewart Wheeler, his deputy and four first secretaries. “They have been asked to leave India by or before 11:59 pm on Saturday, October 19,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, India had said that it was withdrawing its envoy to Canada because Ottawa was investigating him and other diplomats as “persons of interest”, after the killing last year of a Sikh separatist leader.

“We have no faith in the current Canadian Government’s commitment to ensure their security,” the foreign ministry said in a statement. “Therefore, the Government of India has decided to withdraw the High Commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials.”

The development comes after India criticised Canada earlier during the day, saying Ottawa was investigating its ambassador and other diplomats as “persons of interest”, after the killing last year of a Sikh separatist leader.**

The 2023 murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar crashed diplomatic relations with India after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” linking Indian intelligence to the crime.

India’s foreign ministry said in a statement it had “received a diplomatic communication from Canada suggesting that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats are persons of interest” in the ongoing investigation.

Nijjar – who immigrated to Canada in 1997 and became a citizen in 2015 – had advocated for a separate Sikh state, known as Khalistan, carved out of India.

He had been wanted by Indian authorities for alleged terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.

Four Indian nationals have been arrested in connection with Nijjar’s murder, which took place in the parking lot of a Sikh temple in Vancouver in June 2023.

India on Monday called allegations it was connected to the killing as “preposterous” and a “strategy of smearing India for political gains”.

Last year it briefly curbed visas for Canadians and forced Ottawa to withdraw diplomats, and on Monday threatened further action.

Canada has ‘political compulsion’ to blame India for Sikh slaying: New Delhi

“India now reserves the right to take further steps in response to these latest efforts of the Canadian Government to concoct allegations against Indian diplomats,” the foreign ministry said.

Canada is home to some 770,000 Sikhs, who make up about two percent of the country’s population, with a vocal minority calling for an independent state of Khalistan.

In November 2023, the US Justice Department also charged an Indian citizen living in the Czech Republic with allegedly plotting a similar assassination attempt on US soil.

Prosecutors said in unsealed court documents that an Indian government official was also involved in the planning.
 
It is ironic that without Canadian technology and subsequent Uranium supply starting in 1956 - the Indian weapons grade Plutonium refining and Indian nuclear weaponization would not have been possible.

Now Canada is being treated as the villain in India.

Typical pattern of biting the hand which feeds one.

 

After recalling envoy, India expels 6 Canadian diplomats

India today expelled six senior Canadian diplomats after announcing its decision to withdraw its High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and other "targeted" diplomats and officials in Canada.

The move came in protest against what New Delhi termed "an atmosphere of extremism and violence" in that country and the Justin Trudeau government's actions "endangering" their safety, reports our New Delhi correspondent.

Late this evening, the Indian External Affairs Ministry issued a press release stating that the government of India has decided to expel six Canadian diplomats who have been asked to "leave India by or before 11:59 pm on Saturday, October 19".

The Canadian diplomats expelled by India are acting High Commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler, Deputy High Commissioner Patrick Hebert along with first secretaries Marie Catherine Joly, Ian Ross David Trites, Adam James Chuipka and Paula Orjuela.

Earlier today, India announced its decision to pull out its high commissioner to Canada and other diplomats after they were labelled by Canada as "persons of interest" in its probe into the killing of Sikh separatist militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver, Canada.

"We have no faith in the current Canadian government's commitment to ensure their security. Therefore, the government of India has decided to withdraw the High Commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials," the Ministry of External Affairs said in the first statement issued today.

Later, in a separate statement, the MEA said the Canadian Charge d'Affaires in New Delhi was summoned to the foreign ministry by MEA secretary (east) this evening and he was informed that "the baseless targeting of the Indian high commissioner and other diplomats and officials in Canada was completely unacceptable."

"It was underlined that in an atmosphere of extremism and violence, the Trudeau government's actions endangered their safety. We have no faith in the current Canadian government's commitment to ensure their security. Therefore, the government of India has decided to withdraw the high commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials," according to the statement.

It said it was also conveyed to the Canadian diplomat that "India reserves the right to take further steps in response to the Trudeau government's support for extremism, violence and separatism against India."

In the first statement, the MEA firmly rejected Canada's allegations suggesting the involvement of Verma and some other Indian diplomats in a plot to kill a Sikh separatist in that country, describing them as "preposterous" and "centred around Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "political agenda and vote bank politics."

India's high commissioner to Canada and other Indian diplomats in that country are "persons of interest" in a matter related to a Canadian investigation, the MEA's earlier statement said today quoting a Canadian diplomatic communication.

In a sharp response, the MEA rejected the "preposterous imputations" of Canada's claim and said "it is part of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "political agenda" centred around "vote bank politics".​
 
India got caught doing assassination in a western country.

The Canadians got exposed and that Zionist Pierre put on da spot for doing something about this by the Trudeau regime.

Not gonna lie, most Indians are delighted and chuffed about it.

If its Khalistani or Kashmir or any other form of anti national separatists, they are fair game. Anywhere in the world.

Canada just has egg on its face because it still considers itself something.

Times have changed.

There is a new world order forming.

What you hear are the whines of protest from the old.

And those who will never make it, and have delusions of once having been peer same-origin states (hint).

Hmmm…..no kidding. Bhai ye UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and NZ are almost irrelevant now. They just tag along the US for geo-political grouping.

It is not easy to ban Hindutva anywhere. If they try to do that, establishments and arrangements of that country shall fall. We are not radical mullahs whose only contribution to society is terrorism, Justification of Sex with Sisters and all spread of all the filth one can Imagine. All these criminals and terrorists have found refuge in Canada under the cover of humanitarian ground. If Canada is unwilling to learn lesson in decent way, then it will learn it in hard and Humiliating way. It is a matter of time. Over enthuse Imaran Khan Initially bluffed a lot about India and then confessed that he tried to call Modi for 6 times but he did not respond.

This is a good forum to vent your frustration but that is the only thing you and your likes can do.

Very Correct. Now, no other country except US has that power to whom India will pay any attention to. Few days back, Germany also fell in line after denying MBT Arjun for 4 years and than said sorry in almost no time.

Goldy Brad who looks after Canada operation is No. 2 In Lawrance Bishnoi Gang. He operates from the soil of Canada. Why Canada fails to take any action? You Harber Gangsters/ terrorist in your country and blames India to use them for Dirty Work. Why don't you take any action in your country? Even Indian ambassy and Diplomates are targeted but there is no action from Canada. You even do not protect ambassy and diplomates and asks India to act against terrorist hidden in your country.

Give it another decade or so and these toady will lose even more power. They’re already 3rd rate powers.
 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

I appreciate your Islamic narrative of wishing bad for Jews and Hindus.

We bought S400 from Russia, we bought oil from Russia, We expanded BRICS, we took leadership of global south. US didn't want anything out of above to happen yet they couldn't do anything. Let us wait and see what Canada does. You can wish and hope that a weak country like Canada does something anti India and success and wait for reality.
 
Please delete the double post above. I don't wish anything bad for Hindus or Jews. Don't put words in my mouth.

And please stay away from off-topic comments, we are not discussing Bangladesh here in this thread.
 
There's so much India can do..

You shouldn't overstep the limit. If India could do more it wouldn't be as unbold, but it is dependent.

What limit?

Who sets these limits?

The message is clear.

If you dont want us coming in and killing enemies of our state on your soil, then don't let your soil be used to give them safe haven.

How difficult is that? For a sovereign state to pick and choose, and respect another sovereign state.

Yet these nations will go out of their way to give refuge to Indian separatists and criminals, and then appear outraged when we cancel them out permanently.
 
What limit?

Who sets these limits?

Again, there is only so much India can do to break these 'limits'. It is not in the league of USA/Western World or China/Russia. It is still a developing nation like Egypt and many other countries and must abide by the rules until it gains true power - that is your downfall.

If you dont want us coming in and killing enemies of our state on your soil, then don't let your soil be used to give them safe haven.

You barely managed to get away with it with the Canadian issue. Do you think India will be allowed to do this again?

Why are you comparing India to Egypt.

Are you in the same league?

What is this? Envy?

Just because you cannot or will not do it, does not mean India will not.

Canada is a long time offender in this case.

That shameless nation does not even care that most that died in the airline bombing were Canadians.

I don't think he is comparing Egypt to India, he is just making a general analysis between developing countries. India, if it keeps going down this road, will keep biting itself in the foot. There's only so much a new 70 year old state can handle and it must focus within, this is for your own benefit.

Even someone like @Lulldapull Would agree.

Well, he pulled Egypt into the discussion. He seems to be from Egypt by his username. So it was a valid question.
 
Point is simple.

Sanctions dont scare India. Especially Canadian sanctions.

Canada sanctioned India since 1974. When Canada was actually a first world country. And India struggling.

The Americans tried it briefly too in 1998.

Americans have actually regularly killed Indian nuclear scientists. And we will give you guys as much proof of it as Canada gave us on Nijjar.

So quit the sanctimonious whining.

Do something. And see what you get.
 

India's response to diplomatic communication from Canada​

October 14, 2024
We have received a diplomatic communication from Canada yesterday suggesting that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats are ‘persons of interest’ in a matter related to an investigation in that country. The Government of India strongly rejects these preposterous imputations and ascribes them to the political agenda of the Trudeau Government that is centered around vote bank politics.

Since Prime Minister Trudeau made certain allegations in September 2023, the Canadian Government has not shared a shred of evidence with the Government of India, despite many requests from our side. This latest step follows interactions that have again witnessed assertions without any facts. This leaves little doubt that on the pretext of an investigation, there is a deliberate strategy of smearing India for political gains.

Prime Minister Trudeau’s hostility to India has long been in evidence. In 2018, his visit to India, which was aimed at currying favour with a vote bank, rebounded to his discomfort. His Cabinet has included individuals who have openly associated with an extremist and separatist agenda regarding India. His naked interference in Indian internal politics in December 2020 showed how far he was willing to go in this regard. That his Government was dependent on a political party, whose leader openly espouses a separatist ideology vis-à-vis India, only aggravated matters. Under criticism for turning a blind eye to foreign interference in Canadian politics, his Government has deliberately brought in India in an attempt to mitigate the damage. This latest development targeting Indian diplomats is now the next step in that direction. It is no coincidence that it takes place as Prime Minister Trudeau is to depose before a Commission on foreign interference. It also serves the anti-India separatist agenda that the Trudeau Government has constantly pandered to for narrow political gains.

To that end, the Trudeau Government has consciously provided space to violent extremists and terrorists to harass, threaten and intimidate Indian diplomats and community leaders in Canada. This has included death threats to them and to Indian leaders. All these activities have been justified in the name of freedom of speech. Some individuals who have entered Canada illegally have been fast-tracked for citizenship. Multiple extradition requests from the Government of India in respect of terrorists and organized crime leaders living in Canada have been disregarded.

High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma is India’s senior most serving diplomat with a distinguished career spanning 36 years. He has been Ambassador in Japan and Sudan, while also serving in Italy, Turkiye, Vietnam and China. The aspersions cast on him by the Government of Canada are ludicrous and deserve to be treated with contempt.

The Government of India has taken cognizance of the activities of the Canadian High Commission in India that serve the political agenda of the current regime. This led to the implementation of the principle of reciprocity in regard to diplomatic representation. India now reserves the right to take further steps in response to these latest efforts of the Canadian Government to concoct allegations against Indian diplomats.
