Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has accused Indian diplomats of being involved in murders and violent acts across Canadian soil. While testifying before a public inquiry, Trudeau stated that Canada has clear intelligence linking Indian diplomats to criminal activities. These include drive-by shootings, home invasions, violent extortion, and even murder across the country.
Trudeau further said that India had made a “horrific mistake” by violating Canadian sovereignty. His remarks came two days after senior Canadian police officials accused Indian diplomats of being involved in criminal acts. These acts range from homicide and targeted assassinations to extortion and coercion, primarily targeting the Canadian Sikh community.
Criminal Activities Targeting Canadian Sikh Community
Among the allegations, Canadian officials have connected Indian diplomats to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar, a Sikh activist, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in a Vancouver suburb last June. According to officials, Indian diplomats, including India’s high commissioner, were not only linked to this high-profile murder but also to other killings on Canadian soil.
Collaboration with Notorious Indian Mob Boss Alleged
Additionally, Canadian authorities claim Indian diplomats collaborated with a gang led by India’s most notorious mob boss to carry out these violent acts. These accusations have significantly escalated an already tense diplomatic row between India and Canada.
The diplomatic crisis between the two countries began last year when Trudeau made public statements in Parliament. At that time, he said there were “credible allegations” linking the Indian government to Nijjar’s assassination. India dismissed these claims as “absurd” and has continued to reject any involvement.
The recent allegations represent a new chapter in this ongoing conflict. Canadian officials have provided more details about what they describe as a campaign of violence orchestrated by Indian diplomats. Trudeau’s statements and the police’s accusations have strained relations between the two nations further.
Transnational Threats Emerge in the US, UK, and Pakistan
It is important to note that these allegations of transnational violence by India are not limited to Canada. Similar claims have emerged in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Pakistan. Sikh activists in these countries have reported receiving threats to their lives, further intensifying concerns about India’s actions abroad.
The diplomatic situation between Canada and India remains fragile, with both nations standing firm on their positions. As tensions rise, international attention has grown, and the Sikh community in Canada continues to express concern for their safety. Trudeau’s public claims have brought the issue to the forefront, and the world is now watching how this diplomatic crisis will unfold.
