Angry India accuses Canada of ‘preposterous’ investigation

India has reacted angrily after being told by Canada that its ambassador and other diplomats were named as “persons of interest” in an investigation in the country.

The foreign ministry in Delhi said it received the news in a diplomatic communication from Canada on Sunday, and reserved the right to respond. “The Government of India strongly rejects these preposterous imputations,” it said.

The statement refers to allegations last year by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the Indian government may have been behind the killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil. Delhi has repeatedly rejected the allegation.

Trudeau is a disaster at home or abroad.

India government says criminalising marital rape ‘excessively harsh’

The Indian government has opposed petitions in the top court that seek criminalisation of marital rape, saying it would be “excessively harsh”.

The federal home ministry told the Supreme Court that “a man does not have a fundamental right” to force sex on his wife, but there were enough laws to protect married women against sexual violence.

The top court is hearing petitions seeking to amend a British-era law that says a man cannot be prosecuted for rape within marriage.

India’s Modi, With the Mideast in Turmoil, Shifts His Approach Dramatically, Offering Open Support for Israel

NEW DELHI — As the Middle East conflict continues, the prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, has notably shifted India’s approach, offering open support for Israel — a dramatic break from decades of cautious diplomacy.

Since taking office in 2014, Mr. Modi, from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, has publicly aligned with Israel, frequently called Prime Minister Netanyahu his “friend,” expressed condolences for the October 7 attacks, and continues to supply weaponry to the Netanyahu government.

Sikh Canadian separatist leader says India cracking down on Khalistan supporters after arrests in Nijjar slaying

A Sikh Canadian separatist leader allegedly targeted for death by the Indian government says New Delhi arrested three of his secessionist colleagues Tuesday, part of what he called a crackdown on a cause that was championed by B.C.-based Hardeep Singh Nijjar before his fatal shooting last year.

Gurpatwant Pannun, the New York-based legal counsel for Sikhs for Justice, who also holds American citizenship, said he was in touch with the arrested men as recently as Monday. A criminal indictment unsealed in New York last November said a thwarted 2023 plot to kill Mr. Pannun was directed by an Indian government employee.

At least someone is doing their job.

India, gangs … or both? Who is behind assassinations of Canadian Sikhs?

Less than half an hour after the prominent Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside a temple in British Columbia, Moninder Singh addressed a crowd near the site of the brazen attack.

“Make no mistake: this is a political assassination,” Singh told the agitated crowd in June 2023. “And it’s been carried out by India.”

Reaction from Delhi, more than 11,000 kilometres away, was starkly different. The government had long considered Nijjar a “terrorist” and Indian media wrote off the killing as a “fratricidal gang-world slaughter”.

India says Canada has offered no evidence it was involved in death of Sikh separatist

The spokesperson for India’s external affairs ministry, Randhir Jaiswal, also reiterated India’s longstanding allegation that Canada harbors Indian extremists.

Three Indian nationals who had been living in Canada temporarily were charged on Thursday for their alleged role in the assassination of the Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia last year.

India summons Canadian diplomat over pro-Khalistan separatism slogans at Trudeau speech

OTTAWA — What appeared to be a last-minute trip by the prime minister to attend Khalsa Day celebrations in Toronto has landed Canada in a new diplomatic tiff with India.

The Indian government summoned Canada’s Deputy High Commissioner Stewart Wheeler to explain “separatist slogans” shouted at the parade where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave remarks, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said in a press release on Monday.

A normal PM would know to make a brief statement and leave in such a situation.
