Multiculturalism, once hailed as the golden path towards creating diverse and inclusive societies, now stands amidst criticism and skepticism. The voice ringing the latest bell of concern is none other than the British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman. In a recent address, she boldly tackled an issue many of her contemporaries have shied away from, even if they might secretly resonate with her sentiments.

In a bold move, Sri Lanka voiced its support for India against the uncorroborated claims made by Canada that Indian operatives were involved in the assassination of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka, Ali Sabry, took a strong stance against Canada, stating, “Some of the terrorists have found safe haven in Canada. The Canadian PM has this way of just coming out with some outrageous allegations without any supporting proof.”

"Home of the free, especially for the 'wanted'": From harboring Khalistanis like Nijjar to shielding the assassin of Sheikh Mujib, Nur Chowdhury, Canada's actions reveals its double standards and raise critical questions about the nation's true values

In recent times, a prominent diplomatic clash has captured global attention. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a leader affiliated with the prohibited Khalistan movement and a Canadian-Indian national, was tragically murdered by unidentified individuals at a Sikh temple located in Surrey, British Columbia, during the month of June. The event has incessantly dominated international headlines and remained at the epicenter of news stories.

Canada's Parliament, in an era where every information nugget is a click away, managed to have its very own "Did that just happen?" moment. Imagine waking up to discover that you just celebrated the legacy of someone from the most villainous chapter of our history books. Speaker Anthony Rota did just that by commemorating Yaroslav Hunka, not a WW2 hero, but a Nazi who actively partook in the gruesome genocide against Jews. Talk about putting the wrong foot forward!

London - While the city of London enjoys a global reputation for its opulence and economic might, an astonishing revelation has surfaced: close to a quarter of its children lack access to a nutritious meal. This alarming statistic has been brought forward by none other than the Akshaya Patra Foundation (TAPF), an organization internationally recognized for distributing the highest number of mid-day meals globally.

In the latest findings, the World Bank paints a grim picture of Pakistan's economic landscape, emphasizing the dire need for immediate reforms. The nation, already grappling with economic constraints, now faces the daunting challenge of soaring inflation and navigating through one of its gravest economic downturns. Alarmingly, the data indicates that a staggering 95 million of its population are mired in the depths of extreme poverty.

India stands strong and resilient, forever defending its honor and the safety of its people, both domestically and internationally. A prime example of a threat emerging from international borders is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the head of the prohibited group, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). Pannun, shielded by the Canadian terrains, has audaciously threatened violent onslaughts against Indian missions situated in prominent Canadian cities, namely Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.

His audacity doesn't stop at mere threats. Pannun has taken his hostility to another level, targeting Hindus residing in Canada. He has brazenly suggested that they should "return to India" as they allegedly remain devoted to their homeland. Adding to the absurdity of his claims, Pannun insists that he has more rights than native Canadians, even jestingly suggesting that the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should fund a skin surgery for him to appear "whiter."

The bond between Pannun and Hardeep Singh Nijjhar, the latter being assassinated recently, is also hard to ignore. Referring to Nijjhar as his "brother", it's conspicuous that Pannun's increase in aggressive threats coincided with Trudeau's claims in the parliament associating India with the assassination. These threats didn't emerge right after the assassination in June but followed Trudeau's statements. This sequence of events raises eyebrows, prompting one to question if Trudeau's allegations provided an impetus for Pannun's renewed vigor against India.

Trudeau's usage of parliamentary privilege as a shield, especially when levying unverified claims even before the completion of Nijjhar's assassination investigation, treads a dangerous line. It could be perceived as a potential instigation. If, heaven forbid, an Indian diplomat becomes a target of violence in Canada, it is only justified for the Indian government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, to escalate the matter to the International Court of Justice. Not just to ensure justice for the victim, but to also hold those responsible, including Trudeau if needed, accountable for inciting such heinous crimes.

India, a sovereign nation with its rich tapestry of history and diverse culture, is no stranger to external advice and, at times, unwarranted interference. The recent suggestion by the US for India to cooperate with the probe into Nijjhar's assassination is one such instance. However, it would be prudent for the US to redirect its concerns towards its close ally, Canada. The land of the maple leaf has been alleged to offer safe haven to Khalistani terrorists and criminals who not only unleash violence within India but also target Indians globally.

Drawing a parallel with the US's own actions post the traumatic 9/11 Twin Tower strikes, it becomes evident that when national pride and security are at stake, nations act decisively. The US's retaliation by invading Afghanistan and its orchestrated special operations to eliminate Osama Bin Laden in response to terror attacks on its soil serve as prime examples. Similarly, India reserves every right to respond to the tragic Air India flight Kanishka bombing, which claimed 329 innocent lives. The audacious calls for violence by Pannun, who flouts Canadian laws with impunity, further underscore India's right to defend its interests and safeguard its citizens.

The fabric of international relations is often interwoven with complex geopolitical dynamics. Bangladesh, for instance, has been vocal about Canada offering refuge to those involved in the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Remarkably, a Canadian minister even rebuked the US for deporting one of the alleged culprits, Mohiuddin.

Interestingly, the dynamics of terror and its networks have their own way of retribution. The death of Khalistan Commando Force's key figure, Paramjit Singh Panjwar, in Lahore earlier this year saw a significant drop in Khalistani-backed disruptive activities in Punjab. Similarly, the demise of Babbar Khalsa's Ripudaman Singh Malik, the main suspect behind the 1985 Kanishka bombing, in Surrey last year speaks volumes. While both Pakistan and Canada lack evidence pointing towards Indian involvement, should India's agencies have had a hand in ensuring justice, they stand justified in their actions. Israel, renowned for its covert operations defending its national interests, serves as a benchmark in this regard. India, valuing its sovereignty and the safety of its citizens, is well within its rights to adopt similar measures in its quest for justice and self-defense.

The nuances of international relations often carry an undertone of strategic alliances and vested interests. With the rising influence of China on the global front, Western powers, including the US and UK, find themselves in a position where fostering strong ties with India is not merely beneficial, but rather imperative. As a nation, India stands at a juncture where it can redefine its terms of engagement, ensuring that partnerships are mutually beneficial and devoid of one-sided compromises.

However, the path to such mutually respectful relations has its share of obstacles. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent actions underscore this sentiment. By reportedly curbing efforts from the Modi government to establish a dialogue with Khalistani groups based in Canada, Trudeau has hampered peace-building initiatives. The expulsion of Indian diplomat Pawan Kumar Rai, with his background in R&AW, seems to be an intentional move to thwart India's reconciliatory approach towards certain sections of the Sikh diaspora in Canada.

Such actions raise eyebrows and questions on Trudeau's motives. Are these maneuvers purely for appeasing a particular vote bank, or is there a larger international play at hand? His noticeable fuss at the G20 and declining PM Modi's generous offer point towards a seemingly deliberate antagonistic stance. Yet, beneath the surface, one must ponder if such behavior is fueled by the influence of other major Western powers like the US and UK. Both nations have had their share of allegations concerning harboring Khalistani extremists, often veiling their activities under the banner of freedom of speech and the rule of law.

With the support of over a million Canadian Hindus, we earnestly beseech PM @JustinTrudeau and @NDP Leader @theJagmeetSingh to recognize Mr. Pannu’s threat as a hate crime. We anticipate that Canadian authorities will take decisive action to address this matter. https://t.co/EYbkcLsYzA pic.twitter.com/6tYZXXmxhZ

The stakes are high. Should any harm befall Indian diplomats or missions in Canada due to these extremist ideologies, India has every right to respond with assertive measures, even if it involves targeting SFJ leader Pannun. The safety of Indian representatives abroad is paramount, and any threats to them are unacceptable. Canada's obligation to hand over Khalistani entities involved in violent activities in Punjab, especially those flagged by Interpol, remains non-negotiable.

If political considerations, such as Trudeau's alliance with the New Democratic Party led by Jagmeet Singh, are driving such divisive policies, perhaps a more straightforward solution exists. Maybe it's time for Canada to consider carving out a Khalistani province or autonomous state around Vancouver, allowing those with separatist ambitions a place to call their own.

Crackdown on Khalistanis: NIA confiscates properties of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, notice issued to seize Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s property

In what appears to be a marked escalation in India's efforts to clamp down on Khalistani extremism, significant actions have been taken against key figures of the movement. Notably, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), on 23rd September, took decisive measures against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Hardeep Singh Nijjar, two prominent faces of the Khalistani narrative.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, known for his affiliations with the terror group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), faced direct consequences as the NIA seized his property in Chandigarh's prestigious sector 15-C. The actions were undertaken following directives from a CBI-NIA Special Court located in Mohali. The NIA's assertion was evident as they put up a notice on Pannun’s property, which read, “1/4th share of house no. # 2033 sector 15-C, Chandigarh, owned by Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, a ‘proclaimed offender’ in NIA case RC-19/2020/NIA/DLI, stands confiscated to the state under section 33(5) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967 by orders of the NIA Special Court, Sas Nagar, Mohali, Punjab dated 14/09/2023. This is for information of general public.”

In tandem with the actions against Pannun, the NIA also targeted the property of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist who met his end in Canada earlier this June. A notice of property confiscation was displayed outside his residence in Bharsingh Pura village, Jalandhar district, cementing the Indian authorities' commitment to eradicating any symbols of Khalistani extremism within its borders. This action was also a direct consequence of the NIA Mohali court's order.

This latest set of actions underscores India’s unwavering resolve against extremist ideologies and movements that pose a threat to its sovereignty. It sends a clear message: Those who work against the nation's interests, irrespective of their location or influence, will face stringent consequences.

Following the determined crackdown on Khalistani extremism by Indian authorities, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took further actions this week, intensifying the heat on pivotal figures, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

In a fresh wave of actions, Nijjar, a known Khalistani extremist, was served with a court notice, specifically mentioning his requirement to appear in court concerning an application filed by the NIA. The notice, meant to be delivered personally or through his close associates, read, “Hardeep Singh Nijjar @ Nijjar Son of Piara Singh, Resident of Village Bharsinghpura, PS Phillaur, District Jalandhar, Punjab... You are hereby directed to appear in this Court regarding the application U/S 33(5) of UA(P) Act filed by NIA to confiscate Immovable property belonging to Hardeep Singh Nijjar @ Nijjar on 11.09.2023 AT 10:00 A.M. Herein fall not.”

An official bulletin delineated the NIA’s approach to a special court, moving for the seizure of immovable properties associated with Pannun under the stringent provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), 1967.

Diving deeper into the specifics, an official told News18, “Pannun is accused in case RC-19/2020/NIA/DLI dated 05.04.2020 under sections 120-B, 124-A, 153-A 153-B and 17, 18 and 19 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The case relates to funding of terrorist activities in Punjab from abroad, creating disharmony among communities and radicalising youth for terrorist activities.”

Pannun's confiscated properties span across Punjab and Chandigarh, including agricultural land in Village Khankot, Amritsar, and a significant share in a residence in Chandigarh's sector 15/C. Recognized as an “individual terrorist” under the UAPA, Pannun's activities have been under intense scrutiny, drawing the attention of multiple Indian agencies.

This rigorous course of action against such influential figures in the Khalistani narrative demonstrates India’s unwavering stance against extremism. With these decisive actions, the authorities are sending a crystal-clear message to all advocating anti-national sentiments: No matter the influence or reach, those who oppose India's interests will inevitably face the full might of the law.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) seized the assets of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a key figure in the Khalistani narrative. This action is seen in the context of broader efforts to clamp down on secessionist elements aiming to destabilize the Indian state.

However, in an unexpected turn, Interpol rebuffed India's efforts to secure a Red Notice against Pannun last year. While the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India’s primary liaison with Interpol, had forwarded the NIA's request, it was sent back, with Interpol seeking further clarifications.

This is even more significant, given that Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), the outfit associated with Pannun, was declared unlawful in 2019. Under the provisions of Section 3(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, the SFJ was banned, citing its ties with extremist factions aiming for secessionist activities and inciting violence within India. Operating primarily from countries like the US, Canada, and the UK, the group has been instrumental in advancing the Khalistan agenda.

On 10 July 2019, the Indian government officially banned SFJ, reiterating its stance against any entities that compromise India's sovereignty. The notification from the government stated that SFJ's agenda was transparent – to create a separate sovereign nation in Punjab, which directly challenges the territorial integrity of India.

This renewed focus on Pannun and the actions against him are set against the backdrop of simmering tensions between India and Canada. The alleged assassination of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has become a sticking point, with Ottawa openly accusing New Delhi of involvement.

This series of events underscores the complexities of international diplomacy, especially when secessionist agendas intersect with national interests. India's unyielding stance against any form of extremism is evident, but how this plays out on the global stage, especially with key partners like Canada, remains to be seen.

In a shocking turn of events, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, without presenting tangible evidence, made hasty allegations against the Modi government over the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. "Rather than providing proof of its so-called agents involved in Nijjar’s killing, Trudeau indicted the Modi government for a crime that it had not committed." This rush to judgment has unveiled a deeper narrative, reflecting the historical Western double standards that have often overshadowed the truth.

Taking a brief trip down memory lane, we're reminded of a significant event involving Amit Shah, the then-President of BJP. Before stepping into his role as the Union Home Minister in the Narendra Modi government, he had an intriguing interaction with the then US Ambassador to India at his Akbar Road residence. On the surface, their exchange was one of respect and courtesy. However, the moment the US Ambassador broached the topic of India's human rights situation, the atmosphere shifted. Amit Shah, assertive in his stance, retorted, stating that "the US had absolutely no right to preach on human rights after the extermination of Indian natives by white immigrants in the 18th century." Just like that, the conversation reached its precipice.

Fast forward to today, and we see a manifestation of this age-old Western hypocrisy. Canada, with a nod of agreement from its staunch ally, the US, is on a quest, looking for any evidence, however tenuous, to assert that Indian agents orchestrated the assassination of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) terrorist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in Surrey, British Columbia on June 18. What's even more disconcerting is that Justin Trudeau, with the backing of his principal advisor and Khalistan advocate Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party (NDP), has rushed to point fingers at India without substantial proof. Meanwhile, the US is busy assembling a range of intelligence – "humint, techint and sigint" – to bolster Canada's claims.

However, there's a stark contrast in the narratives being portrayed. While certain media outlets in the US and Canada choose to depict Nijjar as a mere vocal supporter of Khalistan, the actual evidence tells a different story. The comprehensive dossier shared with both Ottawa and Washington comprises numerous pages detailing at least 10 FIRs against Nijjar, a terrorist with a mission to target Indians in Bharat through contract killings.

As the story unfolds, it's essential for the global community to approach such sensitive issues with discernment and an undying commitment to the truth.

A closer examination into Hardeep Singh Nijjar's life reveals the dark underbelly of extremist factions operating covertly. Nijjar, identifiable by his passport number GC 835662, was not just an ordinary plumber in Surrey. He managed to maneuver through extremist circles, eventually elevating himself to the esteemed position of the president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurudwara. However, a facade of religiosity concealed a more sinister purpose. The Gurudwara, under his leadership, audaciously showcased images of Khalistan terrorists from past decades, including the infamous Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

Nijjar's criminal affiliations extended far and wide. Initially, he was associated with the outlawed Babbar Khalsa International. But as the winds of terrorism shifted, he aligned himself with the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) in 2013. This realignment took place after terrorist Jagtar Singh, widely recognized by his pseudonym 'Tara,' anointed himself the chief of KTF. The intricate web of terrorism extended beyond Indian borders. Nijjar, capitalizing on his new affiliations, made trips to Pakistan in 2013 and 2014. These visits were far from casual. They were meticulously planned rendezvous with Tara and ISI officials. The primary objective? To solidify KTF's foothold and orchestrate terror activities targeted at Indian Punjab. Nijjar was not merely a passive spectator; he played an instrumental role in identifying potential recruits, networking, training, bankrolling, and activating the KTF module members.

2014 witnessed a chilling episode masterminded by Nijjar. Acting on his directives, Surjit Singh Kohli, a Canadian national, embarked on a journey to India. The mission was clear-cut: motivate Parminder, fondly nicknamed 'Kala', a former member of the BKI, to assassinate Baba Piara Singh Bhaniarwala and Shiv Sena leader Sanjeev Ghanouli. Funding such operations is no small feat. However, Nijjar, leaving no stone unturned, ensured that Parminder Singh received ample funds via Kohli. These finances were utilized in 2015 to purchase weapons locally, setting the stage for the contracted killings.

In the labyrinth of global terrorism, figures like Nijjar operate with alarming efficiency. Their dual lives, often hidden under a veneer of normalcy, hold secrets that could shake the very foundation of nations. It is a stark reminder that vigilance, thorough investigation, and cooperation between nations are paramount.

Canada's Connection to Nijjar's Reign of Terror

2015 marked a dark chapter in the annals of Mission Hills, BC, Canada. It was during this time that Hardeep Nijjar meticulously orchestrated an arms training camp, instructing his recruits in the art of violence. Those trained under his careful tutelage, such as Mandeep Singh Dhaliwal and several other young enthusiasts, quickly learned the intricacies of handling lethal firearms, including AK-47 rifles, sniper rifles, and pistols.

Nijjar's influence did not merely stop at training. In 2016, wielding his newfound power and capabilities, he dispatched Dhaliwal on a harrowing mission: to assassinate Shiv Sena leaders situated in Punjab. However, this particular plot did not see the light of day. Punjab Police, vigilant and proactive, apprehended Dhaliwal, nipping the plan in the bud. By May 2016, Dhaliwal found himself in custody, with an FIR officially registered against him. The charges were serious and encompassed violations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967 as well as infractions against the Arms Act.

Nijjar's network of terror was vast, with tendrils extending to various regions and involving multiple operatives. In collaboration with the radical Arshdeep Singh Dala, Nijjar meticulously raised and trained a squad dedicated to the cause of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF). This unit was responsible for a slew of violent incidents, including the cold-blooded murder of Manohar Lal in Bhatinda, the killing of a Hindu Priest in Phillaur, and the audacious gunning down of an individual accused of sacrilege in Moga. Their reign of terror also involved a botched abduction and assassination attempt on Shakti Singh. Fortunately, three members of this malevolent module were subsequently detained.

Nijjar's terror-related activities, particularly those stemming from his Canadian base, are extensive and harrowing. These actions are not just mere footnotes but are indicative of a broader nexus that straddles international borders and seeks to destabilize and spread hate. As more information continues to emerge, it becomes increasingly clear: the shadow of Nijjar's terror activities in India is long and grim.

With the rise in terror activities orchestrated by individuals like Nijjar and Arshdeep, global agencies and governments have moved into action to address this burgeoning concern.

It's noteworthy that Arshdeep, a man with a deeply troubling track record, was labeled as an 'individual terrorist' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) by the Indian administration earlier this year. Known for more than just his direct involvement in terror acts, Arshdeep has a history of bankrolling and offering logistical aid to gangsters and terror organizations. This is in addition to his active involvement in various criminal endeavors, including the orchestration of contract murders. In light of these severe allegations and his notorious actions, a lookout notice is currently active against him. Furthermore, he faces open-dated warrants in as many as five distinct cases. Efforts to clamp down on his international movements are also evident, with a request for a Red Corner Notice currently pending.

Speaking of the Red Corner Notices (RCNs), Interpol has already initiated several against various individuals. The list includes:

• Mandeep Singh Nijjar
• Satinderjeet Singh, commonly known as Goldy Brar
• Lakhbir Singh, who goes by the alias Landa
• Gurjit Singh Cheema
• Gurjinder Singh Pannu
• Tehal Singh
• Malkeet Singh, recognized by his alias Fauji

Additionally, apart from the aforementioned Arshdeep, several other individuals have been issued lookout notices, hinting at the vast network of individuals involved in these nefarious activities:

• Arshdeep Singh Gill, referred to as Arsh Dalla, with a pending RCN
• Ramandeep Singh, known as Raman Judge, also awaits an RCN
• Snover Dhillon, with an RCN in progress
• Lakhbir Singh, or Landa, who has an RCN pending

It's evident from these developments that international bodies and the Indian government are taking significant steps to curtail the movements and activities of these individuals, aiming to dismantle the terror nexus they represent.

In a complex web of political maneuvering, India finds itself at the crossroads of international scrutiny, particularly from its western counterparts. The recent saga involving the allegations over Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s assassination stands as a testament to this. The Modi government, navigating these murky waters, faced accusations from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Foreign Minister, even though clear evidence implicating India remains elusive. This approach begs the question: Why is there such a readiness to point fingers without substantial proof?

Adding fuel to this fire is the stance of the US, which seems more than willing to lend a hand in these allegations, thereby signaling a united front against India. The long-standing issue of Khalistan, a secessionist movement that has its roots and considerable support in Canada and the US, has routinely been downplayed by these nations as mere exercises in freedom of speech and dissent. But the undercurrents suggest a more calculated move. By brushing it off as a non-issue, the West might be leveraging the Khalistan movement against India, using it as a geopolitical tool to exert influence and pressure.

As the Kashmir situation seems to have simmered down, the focus has now shifted to Khalistan. Canada, with Trudeau at the helm, appears to be weaponizing this issue, backed by American intelligence and certain media outlets. This isn't a simple matter of two nations' dispute; it reflects a larger narrative where major global players are intricately involved. The remark by the Indian intelligence chief to the CIA Director about SFJ's G.S Pannu's potential ties to the CIA further intensifies this narrative. The chief hinted that Pannu's audacious acts against India, such as advocating for assassinations of Indian diplomats and desecrating the Indian flag, might be backed by Langley.

This chain of events underscores the need for transparent international dialogues. It also serves as a reminder that nations must be cautious in their claims and accusations, ensuring that they are grounded in fact rather than conjecture.

Western Double Standards on Terrorism: A Gaping Hypocrisy?

The world stands divided on many fronts, with nations posturing and posing, often with selective memory and convenient omissions. The recent imbroglio involving the Nijjar incident brings into sharp relief the Western world's alleged duplicity on terrorism. India's attempts at shedding light on Khalistan proponents have repeatedly been met with inertia by Canada and the US, despite presenting dossiers that underline the threat they pose. One can't help but wonder if the West has been playing a waiting game, hoping for an act by Khalistan radicals to justify their future actions.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's seeming orchestration of the scenario, potentially for personal political gains, paints a broader picture of the West's modus operandi. The political expedience often appears to be prioritized over genuine concerns about global peace. The Western narrative is fraught with inconsistencies. They championed the cause against the Taliban chief, Mullah Mansour Akhtar, who met his end in Pakistan via a US drone strike. The Iranian General Qasem Soleimani faced a similar fate in Baghdad. The Sahil region of Africa experiences the might of the West's bomber jets. The list goes on, with the Arab Spring laying waste to North Africa, resulting in the death and displacement of countless innocent lives.

Each of these actions, rarely questioned by international entities like the UN, was justified as counter-terror operations. So, when it comes to India, why the different yardstick? While there is no conclusive evidence linking the Modi government to Nijjar's assassination, India, like all nations, reserves the right to safeguard its interests against threats from radicals and terrorists sheltered by other countries, including Canada. The right to pre-emption isn't a privilege granted solely to the West.

The narrative needs a reset. The US, as a major player in this global chessboard, should take note and advise Canada to recalibrate its stance on India, lest it compromises its standing and credibility on terrorism. This saga underscores that for true global peace, nations must adopt consistent, transparent stances, devoid of double standards.

When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau touched down on Indian soil for the G20 summit, he likely did not anticipate the whirlwind of diplomatic tensions and technical setbacks that awaited him. As the dust settles, we delve into the sequence of events that marked Trudeau's turbulent stay in India.

In the wake of escalating diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, the latter has taken a precautionary measure, affecting its staff presence in India. The High Commission of Canada in India announced its decision to "temporarily adjust" its staff presence, pointing to concerns over alleged threats received by some of its diplomats on social media platforms.
