Why did Canada-India relations reach their worst phase ever? Know in details
India Canada Conflict: Meanwhile today Indian government ordered the Canadian ambassador and his six officials to leave the country. Not only this, it has also issued orders to its ambassador and other officials working in Canada to return.
Why did all this happen?
The big reason behind this is Canada's help to Khalistani terrorists for years and ignoring India's interests. In its love for Khalistan, not only has Canada killed Indians, but it has also killed many citizens of the world. Even though Justin Trudeau's family little bit crazy about Khalistan that it does not hesitate to sacrifice India-Canada relations
Know how the relations deteriorated
Operation Blue Star
In the year 1985. 23 June, 329 people including 86 children on board the Kanishka plane had no idea that they were embarking on the last journey of their lives. Suddenly there was an explosion in the plane and everything was destroyed. Khalistani terrorists were blamed and it was considered a response to Operation Blue Star, but Canada, which boasts of human rights, has so far neither been able to punish any accused in this incident nor complete its investigation
While this was the period of increasing terrorist incidents in Punjab related to Khalistan. Canada was promoting it. Pakistan was behind this.
In March 2023 India had summoned the Canadian High Commissioner due to the protests being carried out by Khalistan supporters outside Indian embassies At the same time, large-scale action was being taken against Khalistan supporter Amritpal Singh in Punjab.
Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead
Meanwhile Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead by some masked gunmen in the parking area of a gurdwara in the Canadian state of British Columbia on June 18, 2023.
Though a few weeks after Nijjar's murder, a Khalistani organization released posters blaming Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma and Consul General Apoorva Srivastava for the murder. These pamphlets blaming the two diplomats for the murder also announced a rally in Toronto on July 8.
Due to this, India had also raised the issue with Canadian officials. At that time, Canada had assured the safety of Indian diplomats and termed the 'propaganda pamphlets' issued as 'unacceptable'.
S Jaishanka statement
The External Affairs Ministry had said in a statement that "The Canadian government is expected to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our diplomats.
He further said, "I think there is a hidden reason why separatists, extremists, people who advocate violence are given space, and I think this is not good for relations and for Canada as well..."
Pro-Khalistan forces on Canadian soil
During the G20 summit held in New Delhi, India had given clear indications that it was dissatisfied with Canada's response to the activities of pro-Khalistan forces on Canadian soil.The Prime Minister Narendra Modi had informed Justin Trudeau about India's concerns about the 'continued anti-India activities of extremists in Canada'.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi strong message to Canada
In a strongly worded statement issued by India after the bilateral talks, it was said, "Canada should also be concerned about the nexus of such forces with organized crime, drug syndicates and human traffickers...
In a conversation with the media, Canada PM Justin Trudeau said that Canada will always "defend freedom of expression and peaceful protest...'
Then in September 2023, Canada accused India of being involved in the killing of a Khalistani terrorist and expelled New Delhi's intelligence chief in retaliation.
This diplomatic move by Canada soured relations between Ottawa and Delhi even more than before. Even though Justin Trudeau said that in June, Khalistani terrorists in British Columbia were killed by a Khalistani terrorist.
Indian government rejected the allegations
There were "credible allegations" of Indian agents' involvement in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Our government is actively investigating these allegations. Justin Trudeau asked the Indian government to cooperate in resolving the matter.
Canada suspended visa services
Even though this month, the Visa Application Center for Canada suspended visa services. They are facing threats. This is affecting their normal functioning. Therefore, the High Commission and Consulates are temporarily unable to provide visa applications. This will continue to be reviewed."
In response, India summoned Canadian High Commissioner Cameron Mackay, and asked him to leave the country within 5 days. Then 41 Canadian officials were expelled from the country.
Canada called India a 'foreign threat'
In January 2024, Canada has once again made serious allegations against India. Canada called India a 'foreign threat' and also said that it could potentially interfere in their elections. This allegation was made by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
India had rejected the allegation of interference in Canada's election. India said that Canada itself is "interfering in our internal affairs".
Summoned the Canadian ambassador
The External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that further deterioration in relations between the two countries would cause great harm to Canada. Freedom of expression cannot be the freedom to advocate violence.
A group of Khalistanis has been misusing Canada's freedom laws for years. But the Canadian government is not taking any action against them due to vote bank.
Meanwhile latest controversy started when India received a "diplomatic communication from Canada yesterday, which said that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats are "persons under surveillance" in that country.
