Western countries have for too long acquiesced to the Indian government’s abuses

    What's interesting is that India has been claiming the guy is a terrorist for years, but never really gave specific examples of what made him a terrorist other than his spouting separatist beliefs (which maybe is enough in India to arrest someone?)

    But they also don't seem to have bothered to even try to extradite him, which seems telling in itself.

    They've sent numerous dossiers to Ottawa. But Ottawa was acting in bad faith. They even asked to send a negotiating team of govt officials to meet with the guy to negotiate peace terms. Ottawa refused to allow this. Ottawa was clearing acting in bad faith. Apparently there are people in the Canadian govt who would like to keep conflicts alive in India, perhaps to maintain some sort of leverage over them.

    Have you seen the extradition request? Who told you India has not given proof to Canada? He is wanted in a bombing and multiple killings. A simple google search will give you the case no. and relevant details for his involvement in such crimes.

    Not only that, but Canada has proven its firm hand on this. When China went apeshit after Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada to extradite her to the USA, Canada stuck to its guns. Even after two Canadians were taken hostage by the Chinese government in a retaliatory arrest, Meng stayed under arrest with her extradition going forward, while the rest of the world (including Modi's India) politely looked the other way rather than angering China.

    India cannot possibly claim they couldn't have gotten results from Canada if they'd gone through the legal system.

    Why would India get in the way of China - Canada diplomatic relations.

    India is claiming that, Kanishka bombing is a great read for Canadians who have forgotten their history and who actually they are shielding.

    Hardeep Singh Nijjar was born 11 October 1977.

    Air India Flight 182 was bombed 23 June 1985.

    How are they related?

    Uhh, the Khalistan separatists bombed the Air India flight. Canada's justice system failed to convict a single person for that bombing, which killed 329 people, including 268 Canadians, 27 Britons, 22 Indians, and 12 others. So much for the credibility of Canadian justice. This is in spite of repeated warnings by the Indian govt. Trudeau (current PM's father) refused to cooperate, citing that India no longer accepted the Queen as its sovereign (How the hell was that related, as a refusal? Canada's own official records literally show this.)

    I am talking about history and how it tends to repeat if you don't correct the mistakes, the mistake Canadian Govt. is making again by shielding these terrorists, just because they need NDPs support to keep their govt running and it's a shame how bais plays into it, just because you don't want to believe violent separatists are terrorists it doesn't mean they aren't.

    I’d say the violent ones here were the Indian government who were alleged here to have had a Canadian citizen assassinated on Canadian soil.

    Why didn’t India go through legal means and extradite him?

    I'd say the Indian govt wasn't just going to sit there and let this militant terrorist attack them at his leisure. He hadn't settled down into some quiet life in Canada, and was running a training camp to teach youth recruited by him how to fire high-powered sniper rifles. He was also making fiery speeches at his local temple. How come you don't know these things? Because the CBC won't tell you. https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2023/09/23/550x309/nijjar_1695433548613_1695433559433.jpg I don't have any pictures of myself posing with automatic weapons - do you?

    Alleged is an important word here and India has already shared files with evidence to Canada in multiple individuals (including the one "alleged" to have been assassinated). Why is Canada not supporting India in these investigations? just because it needs NDPs support to keep in power, Canada is siding with terrorists and their sponsors.

    India was not trying to get Nijjar back when he was killed and that NDP angle is hilarious. Is that what Modi is doing?

    India’s reaction to being called out is telling the whole world that they are as guilty as Canada and their allies say they are.
