This is an important international story deserving a spot on JT's home page.

Trudeau can not do anything about the Khalistanis operating in Canada since his minority government is in power because it's backed by NDP, headed by Jagmeet Singh, a Khalistani himself.

These Khalistanis can gave their separate Sikh state in Brampton, Mississauga, Surrey or wherever they want in Canada. The Sikhs in India have repeatedly shown that they want nothing to do with Khalistan anymore.

Regarding Hardeep Singh Nijjar, it's probably true that it was a contract killing carried out at the behest of Indian agents. But if Canada has done nothing about the perpetrators of the worst aviation terror attack pre-9/11 then it should not really be bothered about this, unless it's all for political show.

Some illustrious achievements of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

-Nijjar was put on Canada’s no-fly list by the Canadian government itself.

He entered Canada using a fake passport in 1997. Canadian refugee officials didn’t believe him saying his letters were fabricated.

Indian government accused him of running a terrorist faction and being a mastermind of multiple terrorist activities. This is not the Modi government but the previous Indian government, headed by a Sikh himself.

He had multiple Interpol notices issued against him.

Canadian media are saying that he was, in fact, not a Canadian citizen. He was a wanted alleged terrorist with a notice issued against him by Interpol. Canada was harbouring him from justice in India.

Trudeau has been playing footsie with Sikh extremists for far too long.

Well I reckon the Canadian defense forces won't be participating in any exercises of the Quad /:

You know what? None of that matters one bit. It is very close to an act of war for one nation to send someone to another nation to assassinate someone living in that other nation.

Another baseless allegation without any proof that will be amplified by folks having an agenda.

Any independant sources confirming that the assassination was carried out by the particular diplomat? Most probably it was the handiwork of some of the Indo-Canadian gangs active in the Lower Mainland. They have been known to carry out contract killings, the only difference being that they got a Khalistani instead of a rival gang member.

Now I may agree if you insinuate that it was done at the behest of people linked to the Indian government, but the burden of proof is on those making the allegation.

Not quite like the US taking out Bin Laden I suppose.

Yes it matters. Canada has been harbouring terrorists and refused to send him back to India to face justice.

I'm literally listening to this story on the Canadian news right now, and they are not saying that.

Trudeau's pro-China Liberal government has already been under fire for downplaying Chinese interference in Canadian elections.

Shifting the focus to India kills 2 birds with one stone. It shows to their domestic audience that India, not China is the country they need to be tough on and it wins them a lot of Sikh votes.

So do you feel they should have not said anything and hidden this incident instead?

Making allegations without any proof is conspiracy theory. If they have any proof that the killing of Nijjar happened at the behest of the Indian government then by all means share it with the world.

Just like India has been sharing the proof of the nefarious activities of the Khalistanis living in Canada with the Canadian government for last 4 decades without seeing anything done about them.

It's astounding that the those involved in the worst aviation terror attack pre-9/11 in which 329 were killed, including 268 Canadian citizens, could roam scot-free in Canada for decades.

But most Canadians are not even aware of the Kanishka bombings because the Canadians killed were the wrong color.

@EvilBuddha Those terrorists also killed 2 baggage handlers at Narita. Canada was both inept at hunting done the terrorists and supports and unwilling to shut done the terror networks that still operate in Canada.

@Strangerland Yes, the media has determined he was a citizen. Now the question is why on earth was citizenship ever granted to him.

They're saying they have proof. Why would they share it at this point, they aren't extremists, and 'tearing it all down' is extremist behavior.

You don't actually think countries should be run in an extremist manner, do you?
