It appears that India has decided to sever relations with Canada. India responded strongly to Canada's claims that the Indian High Commissioner and diplomats are "persons of interest" in a Canadian investigation. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated, suggesting they are tied to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's domestic agenda.

00:00The Indian government has issued an uncharacteristically strong statement against the Canadian Prime
00:19Minister Justin Trudeau, accusing him of smearing India for political gain.
00:25This comes in response to Trudeau's accusation that India was involved in the killing of
00:30Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
00:35India suggests that Trudeau is deflecting attention from criticism about ignoring the
00:40foreign interference in Canadian politics, particularly from China.
00:46The statement alludes to widely recognised Chinese meddling in Canada's 2019 and 2021
00:52election where Beijing allegedly favoured candidates aligned with its interests and
00:57discouraged voters for the Conservative Party.
01:04The diplomatic tension escalated when Canada informed India that its High Commissioner
01:08and other diplomats are persons of interest in the Nijjar killing investigation.
01:15And so, India's Ministry of External Affairs responded with a scathing critique of Trudeau's
01:20government citing historical grievances and accusing the Canadian administration of pandering
01:25to separatist elements for political purpose.
01:29The statement also referred to Trudeau's 2018 visit to India as evidence of long-standing
01:33hostility, suggesting that it was aimed at currying favour with a specific vote bank.
01:40India also criticised Trudeau's cabinet, claiming that it included individuals associated
01:45with extremism and separatist agendas against India.
01:50Furthermore, India has accused Trudeau's government of deliberately allowing violent
01:54extremists and terrorists to operate freely in Canada, creating a threatening environment
01:59for Indian diplomats and community leaders.
02:05The statement alluded and we quote that some individuals have entered Canada illegally
02:10and they have been fast-tracked for citizenship and that Canadian authorities have ignored
02:15multiple extradition requests for terrorist and organised crime figures.
02:22India contends that these actions have been justified under the guise of protecting freedom
02:26of speech.
02:27The statement also suggested that Trudeau's government relies on support from a party
02:31whose leader espouses with separatist ideology towards India, further complicating the bilateral
02:38relationship.
02:40The harsh tone of MEA statement marks a significant shift in India's communication, signalling
02:47that the patience with Justin Trudeau's government is now wearing thin.
02:52This unprecedented level of criticism indicates a deepening rift between the two nations and
02:57it also suggests that resolving these tensions may take a long time than anticipated before.
03:10This has provided credible irrefutable evidence of ties between agents of the government of
03:17India and a murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.
03:22Now it is time for India to live up to what it said it would do and look into those allegations.
03:29It is in the interest of both our countries and the peoples of our countries to get to
03:34the bottom of this.
03:36Canada stands ready to cooperate with India.
