Deteriorating relations between India and Canada

India And the immediate reason for the deterioration in Canadian relations is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegation without facts that Indian government agents were behind the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Nijjar during an emergency session of the Canadian Parliament last Monday. . Investigation is still going on regarding the murder of Nijjar, the investigation report is yet to come. The statement given without facts reflects Trudeau’s political immaturity as well as his political compulsion.

During the G-20 summit, when India raised the issue of anti-India activities in Canada, especially threats by Khalistanis, with Justin Trudeau, Trudeau avoided the issue by calling it freedom of expression. Keeping in mind the style of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the activities of Khalistanis, the Indian government has now put a stop to visa services for Canadian citizens until further notice. This is the first time that India has suspended visa services after the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is noteworthy that earlier an advisory had been issued by the Ministry of External Affairs asking Indian citizens going to Canada to be careful. Do not go to any area where anti-India incidents have taken place or there is a possibility that such incidents may happen. Hate crimes have increased in Canada, so be careful when visiting there. In view of the increasing anti-India activities, politically motivated hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, the Government of India urges all Indian nationals residing there and those wishing to travel there to exercise utmost caution and remain in constant touch with Indian Missions Is. In Canada, there have been recent attempts to specifically intimidate Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda. Therefore, Indian citizens have been advised to avoid traveling to areas and possible places in Canada where such incidents have occurred.

The Indian High Commission/Consulate will remain in touch with Canadian authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of the Indian community in Canada, the advisory said. In view of the deteriorating security environment in Canada, Indian students in particular are advised to exercise utmost caution and remain alert. The advisory also advised that Indian citizens and students from India in Canada must register with the High Commission of India in Ottawa or the Consulates General of India in Toronto and Vancouver through their respective websites or help portals. The registration will enable the High Commission and Consulate General to better connect with Indian nationals in Canada in case of any emergency or untoward incident.

Two videos released by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Pannu in which he is asking Hindus living in Canada to go to India. Secondly, reacting to the threat of attacks on Indian missions in Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto on September 25, Vijay Jain, spokesperson of the Hindu organization ‘Canadian Hindus for Harmony’ in Canada, expressed concern that this could create a dangerous situation. Can.

Justin Trudeau is taking Canada on the path of negative politics like Pakistan. Canada may also have to face similar situations in future which Pakistan is facing today. The Khalistanis who are speaking against India today will also speak against the Canadian government tomorrow. We can also demand the establishment of Khalistan in some part of Canada.

After Pakistan, Canada is perhaps the first country which has come out openly in support of Khalistanis. The reasons are both political and economic. Inflation is at its peak in Canada, people are troubled by the rising rates of loans taken from banks. Unemployment is rising and Trudeau himself is going through a period of political uncertainty. The kind of politics Justin Trudeau has adopted to divert people’s attention from his internal problems will sooner or later not only ruin his personal political life but will also increase problems for Canada at the international level.

Justin Trudeau and his Khalistani supporters have failed to understand the Modi government of India. If he remains adamant on his mistake, it will have a negative impact not only on the political relations between India and Canada but also on the economic and social relations. India has given a clear signal by suspending visas for Canadian citizens.
