K.C. Singh | Khalistan': Security vs free speech derails Canada ties

Deccan Chronicle  

India’s relations with Canada have been roiled ever since the killing of “Khalistani” activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver on June 18. Exactly three months later, they hit rock bottom when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged in the House of Commons in Ottawa that his country’s security services had evidence of a credible link between the killing and “Indian agents”. The 1980s saw the military intrusion into the Golden Temple, the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh security personnel and the pogrom against Sikhs, especially in New Delhi. It is true, however, that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relies on right-leaning partners like the New Democratic Party, led by Jagmeet Singh, an unabashed supporter of Sikh causes.
