India shoots Canadian citizen on Canadian soil
“Why would Canada do this??”
India seems no better than Putin’s bunch or Xi and his gang of thugs. We need a global decoupling from these despotic regimes.
Modi is a fascist, plain and simple. That it’s taken this long for so many to take notice is incredible. The repression of Sikh and Muslims und his rule is insane.
In 10 years the West would probably consider India to be too powerful and needs to be contained just like China is today. This may eventually push India to form a close alliance with China and Russia (assuming those two hasn’t collapsed) and the West will have a much bigger problem to deal with than the China Russia alliance today. This is very similar to how China was used as a counterweight to the Soviets during the cold war, and now is forced to ally with Russia to counter western containment measures.
There’s already a group comprised of these countries from more than 10 years ago now: BRICS. It was somehow pretty irrelevant for many years, but they’ve been actively working to gain allies, many of which are oil-rich countries.
Cancel all visa services for any Indian citizen. See who needs whose visa the most.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi cited unspecified security threats “being faced by our high commission and consulates in Canada.”
Nijjar was working to organize an unofficial referendum among the Sikh diaspora on independence from India at the time of his killing.
The two countries have expelled diplomats this week, and India on Wednesday issued an updated travel advisory urging its citizens traveling in Canada and especially those studying in the North American country to be cautious because of “growing anti-India activities and politically condoned hate-crimes.”
Demands for an independent Sikh homeland, known as Khalistan, started as an insurgency in India’s Punjab state in the 1970s that was crushed in an Indian government crackdown that killed thousands.
It announced rewards of up to 1 million rupees ($16,230 Cdn) for information leading to the arrest of five insurgents, one of whom is believed to be based in neighbouring Pakistan.
The agency accused them of extorting money from businesses for a banned Sikh organization, the Babbar Khalsa International, and of targeted killings in India.
