Trudeau Faces Criticism for Lacking Evidence in Diplomat Expulsion
The India-Canada diplomatic relationship has taken a sharp downturn. Recently, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expelled Indian diplomats, accusing them of criminal activities. However, outgoing Indian high commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma, has responded with strong criticism. He directly accused Trudeau of damaging ties with India, asserting that the Prime Minister admitted to having no solid evidence behind the accusations. According to Verma, Trudeau’s actions are politically motivated, especially given the rising tensions over pro-Khalistan groups in Canada.
Verma’s Strong Response to Canadian Allegations
Before returning to India, Verma voiced his concerns over the way the Canadian government handled the situation. He pointed out that Ottawa’s accusations were based on intelligence, not hard evidence. “This is not how you manage relations,” Verma remarked, emphasizing the impact on diplomatic relations. He also highlighted that the individuals Canada targeted had pro-Khalistan links, which suggested a politically charged motive behind the expulsion.
Canada’s Support for Khalistan Extremists?
Verma further accused the Canadian government of offering protection to Khalistan extremists, which is complicating the diplomatic standoff. He said that Canadian intelligence agencies had been working closely with these extremist groups, encouraging actions against India. The absence of concrete evidence, Verma warned, raises questions about Ottawa’s real agenda and its commitment to fair diplomatic practices.
Charges of Bias and Double Standards
When questioned about India’s involvement in criminal activities or targeted killings, Verma firmly denied it. He stated that India has always respected international norms and has never been involved in such acts. Verma criticized the Canadian government for its double standards, particularly for ignoring India’s repeated requests to extradite 26 individuals linked to terrorism. He condemned any form of extra-judicial killings, underscoring that India remains committed to legal processes.
Conclusion
India and Canada are now facing a major diplomatic crisis. As tensions rise over the Khalistan issue, Trudeau’s decisions are being viewed as damaging to long-standing relations between the two nations. The world will be watching closely as both governments navigate this delicate political situation.
