In the last few months, the diplomatic relationship between India and Canada changed drastically after the allegations made by Canada against India. Canada claimed that it was India behind the killing of pro khalistan Sikh activist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The matter escalated quickly and resulted in diplomats leaving the country. The Canadian Prime Minister has recently talked about his intentions behind making such public allegations.
Earlier this year, Trudeau has said that Canada has evidence linking Indian diplomats behind the attack. But so far no evidence has been made public in the case. Rather than accepting that they have no credible evidence to support the allegations, Trudeau is trying to justify why they made such public claims.
Speaking at an interview, Trudeau said that the claims were made to ensure New Delhi does not continue any such actions further against Canadian citizens. He said that in addition to the quiet diplomacy, this step was taken to tell India that they know who is behind these attacks.
Trudeau’s claims and his further justification of it is still not backed by any evidence whatsoever. The repercussions of the allegations have been felt by Canada and Trudeau is trying to save face for it. Afterall, Canada cannot afford to have India as enemies.
