🌎 India expels Canadian diplomats, withdraws envoy to Ottawa

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.



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.
