Western countries have for too long acquiesced to the Indian government’s abuses
Regardless if the guy deserved it or not, killing them in a country you are supposed to be on good terms with is not the way to go about it.
At this point India is barely even trying to hide it.
Also, the guy in question was a Canadian citizen.
If you’re a Canadian citizen, and see Canada as your homeland, then why would you be trying to carve out a homeland elsewhere on the other side of the world for yourself? Could it be that he was just using Canada as his base of operations? If I claim that you and I are happily married, then wouldn’t it be a little suspicious if I’m dating other women and posting ads saying I’m looking for a new girlfriend? That guy entered Canada on a false passport, while he was wanted on an Interpol Red Corner notice. He then tried to gain citizenship by marrying some young girl, but authorities rejected his lame attempt. But then somehow he was later granted citizenship. Maybe the citizenship process isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - and maybe the existing Canadian citizenry are being shortchanged as a result? Also, after gaining citizenship, that guy didn’t settle down into a quiet life, and was running a training camp to train Sikh youth on how to fire high-powered sniper rifles. These things sound like very odd things to do for a happy, well-adjusted Canadian citizen.
“the guy deserved it” should never be justification for a state to kill someone. Even if you think capital punishment is justified, it should only be after a fair trial. And, if someone has a capital punishment sentence against them, that’s only valid within their own borders.
If you violate a country’s monopoly of the use of force within their own borders, that’s a step on the path to war.
Yeah, extradition exists
What’s interesting is that India has been claiming the guy is a terrorist for years, but never really gave specific examples of what made him a terrorist other than his spouting separatist beliefs (which maybe is enough in India to arrest someone?)
But they also don’t seem to have bothered to even try to extradite him, which seems telling in itself.
Have you seen the extradition request? Who told you India has not given proof to Canada? He is wanted in a bombing and multiple killings. A simple google search will give you the case no. and relevant details for his involvement in such crimes.
Not only that, but Canada has proven its firm hand on this. When China went apeshit after Meng Wanzhou’s arrest in Canada to extradite her to the USA, Canada stuck to its guns. Even after two Canadians were taken hostage by the Chinese government in a retaliatory arrest, Meng stayed under arrest with her extradition going forward, while the rest of the world (including Modi’s India) politely looked the other way rather than angering China.
India cannot possibly claim they couldn’t have gotten results from Canada if they’d gone through the legal system.
Why would India get in the way of China - Canada diplomatic relations.
India is claiming that, Kanishka bombing is a great read for Canadians who have forgotten their history and who actually they are shielding.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was born 11 October 1977.
Air India Flight 182 was bombed 23 June 1985.
How are they related?
I am talking about history and how it tends to repeat if you don’t correct the mistakes, the mistake Canadian Govt. is making again by shielding these terrorists, just because they need NDPs support to keep their govt running and it’s a shame how bais plays into it, just because you don’t want to believe violent separatists are terrorists it doesn’t mean they aren’t.
I’d say the violent ones here were the Indian government who were alleged here to have had a Canadian citizen assassinated on Canadian soil.
Why didn’t India go through legal means and extradite him?
It’s too early to confirm who did it, but it looks like it just happened again:
An alleged (edit: alleged by India) Khalistani terrorist was just murdered in his home in Winnepeg.
And all the Indian news outlets are claiming the guy was a gangster and that this was a gang-related shooting. Meanwhile the local Winnipeg police are just like “Uh, we have no evidence on that as of yet and have made no statements about that, where the frick are you getting this claim from?”
never previously in the friendly and orderly West.
Well, started reading the article, got to this line and cringed.
For a kinder and friendlier colonism.
It is a vague reference that they are following the route of China and Russia by ignoring and abusing the laws of western states.
Oh no, its a clear reference to the blind eye the west & the world has turned to the ongoing genocide of Muslims & Christians in India by Modi govt & the Hindu supremacist thugs it supports.
The laws of Western states that the West only selectively follows? Gee…
If I go to another country I follow the laws of that state. It is called respect.
What if the state itself doesn’t follow those laws?
yes, that line had me laughing too.
As an Indian I agree. But I need to see conclusive proof first. I don’t want to see my country degrades itself to the same level as CIA / NSA or Mossad. If we did something wrong there should be adequate consequences.
And if we didn’t there should be equally measured consequences for the once who made acquisitions without adequate proof
The thing is we’re scared of China and you’re the only developing country of over a billion left, on top of your ideological and language similarities with us. Even Trudeau is treading as lightly as he can given the situation.
If the west is scared of China, then India’s PM Modi is terrified of them. In June 2020, When China invaded India in Galwan and beat our 20 soldiers to death, Modi publicly state that nothing happened in Galwan. Since then he has been unable to take China’s name, even when China built an entire village with paved roads in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
The Modi govt that rules India is ideologically fascist dictatorial, majoritarian, and violently Hindu supremacist. If that is also your country’s ideological stance then we do have a lot in common.You may be wrong in understanding geopolitics, just like every other Indian. I am also an Indian, and a leftist at that, and let me explain to you Modi’s motive behind China simping.
Modi understands very well that he is the face of BJP and the Hindutva neofascist ideological movement, and that BJP is falling out of favour with the masses. Hence why today he passed the women reservation bill, which was introduced few days ago. This is to sugarcoat the horrific Manipur issue, and to gain women’s votebank for elections next year.
Now, to come to why he made ANI release that video statement of how nothing happened at borders (Galwan and 40 soldiers), he did this because he realises there is a sentiment in the underbelly of many Indians against “angrej” aka Western devil, reminding of the trauma of British Raj 200 year colonisation period (hence why all these nationalist biopic movies on theaters for the past 5-6 years), so that he can capitalise on that sentiment. The core reason, however, is that Modi and Indian thinktanks see BRICS+ has won over the NATO western alliance as far as global power dynamics is concerned, and India to date has been a liberal softpower that simps for west, and one that west always tries to weaponise as a counter to China’s toppling of USA on the global stage.
Modi is doing this as a two stones one bird move – to get along with China and Russia, as the second fiddle economically to China and third fiddle militarily to Russia and China, and to seal the fate of NATO that is trying to latch onto India for years as a method to counter China, and to rile up China by militarily funding Taiwan right now. He is doing this so that he and BJP get immortalised as the ones making India a core part of the new dominant global hegemon (fueling his whole vishwaguru populist propaganda).
This also buys RSS/VHP more time for the 2024 Hindu Rashtra/Caliphate vision, to convert this country over time by installing a complete framework of ISIS style neofascist terror state, which will make Taliban look like a children’s playground. The country has fallen into the wrong hands at the wrong time, and the price of rightwing Hindutva casteism will be payed by the country after centuries, if INDIA alliance does not win the next year’s election to give us some breathing room to de-poison our mass media and social culture.
What evidence do you want to see about a state-sponsored assassination? It’s happened twice now and you think it’s an accident?

Just yesterday.
That’s hardly proof
Not saying it isn’t true… but from that alone nada. someone posting something on twitter and then someone is murdered… must be government?!
He’s wanted in India.
Was* wanted
Well, yeah. Obviously not wanted anymore, since they got him lol.
Canadian sources say that, when pressed behind closed doors, no Indian official has denied the bombshell allegation at the core of this case — that there is evidence to suggest Indian government involvement in the assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.

Our government has not released a single statement saying ‘we didn’t do it’ AFAIK. Let us know if you find any.
Are we pretending the West doesn’t order murders in other countries?
Well, for one, I doubt Canada does it, and for another, the Americans at least have the self-respect to own what they’re doing when somebody calls them out on it instead of switching into crybully mode and throw a diplomatic temper tantrum like Modi is.
I don’t recall Obama ever pulling diplomats and visas from Pakistan when their government was angry about US airstrikes in their country.
“I didn’t do it and if I did it was justified” just looks childish.
The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn’t even that much democracy at home.
The narcissist’s prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.
America doesn’t “own up” to anything unless forced to, not sure what America you’re talking about
We have done what now? India has only been a country since like 1947, what are these long trains of abuses you refer to here in the west? Chippendales?
If Canada follows the 9/11 protocol, they would invade pakistan
but in old Canadian fashion, we’re just going to bend over and take it
Sounds like a terrorist who got assassinated in a foreign country.
Anyway this OP has a vendetta against India. They have yet to comment on all the atrocities being carried out by Muslim governments daily.
modi isnt humble and so isnt his government. modis shitty support for russia is wrong. he has already lost touch with reality. i think the image of india in the west is falling rapidly, but i am sure modiist know why everyone else is wrong. time to rename the country. it is no longer happy nice india, bad bahRAT.
India’s image is better now than ever
Hahaha. Oh wait you’re serious? Let me laugh even harder! HAHAHAHA!
It isn’t? So are you saying when India was much much poorer it was better off?
Canada’s fascist roots are going to be impossible to hide when dealing with this sort of thing.
EDIT because apparently the obvious “they were going to find a way let them get away with it” wasn’t unhinged enough for the internet to have it as their first thought.
How is Canada fascist?
I thought Trudeau was a commie.
I know they don’t teach people about the mass genocide the country was built on, but this is fucking ridiculous.
Woah buddy I’m not engaging in this conversation.
Have a good one.
Understandable, that one always ruffles the feathers of the chromatically challenged.
No it just sounds like you’re implying India was justified in assassinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil because Canada has done bad things in its past.
I don’t want anything to do with this conversation.
Well fuck no wonder it got downvoted so hard.
Oh, but US/Canada/West ordering murders in India/East/Global South is fine? The Brits haven’t even acknowledged what they did to India…
Any evidence Canada is responsible for ordering assassinations in other countries? Would love to know more about that.
Canada is aly with the countries carrying out these associations. I never saw one statement from Canada condemning these actions, rather I can pull up multiple tweets from Canada’s officials supporting these assassinations.
Canada was in Afghanistan no?
Is there any evidence that India ordered the assassination?
And I had a conversation just last week where I verbatim said ‘Canada isn’t going to war with anyone. I mean, can you imagine?’
Well, now who has egg on their face.
