This is the best summary I could come up with:
Those and other comments of the past few days have underlined how the Indian government seems to view Canada: A country that for years has given free rein to the more extremist elements of the Khalistani movement for an independent Sikh state.
That view is only intensifying as the ire over Canada accusing Indian agents of involvement in the shooting death this June of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh leader and Canadian citizen, deepens across India’s political sphere.
Bagchi also called out Canadian authorities for not addressing India’s “very significant concerns about terrorism, about security of diplomats, of the Indian community and the overall anti-India activities that are being … given a safe haven in Canada.”
In India’s boisterous TV news landscape, the words “safe haven” have already come up repeatedly this week, in the days since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first publicly – and briefly – made the allegations in the House of Commons on Monday.
But to date, the condemnation of Trudeau in India has been near-universal, as has been the criticism of Canada for coming out publicly with what some newspapers have called “a sketchy allegation” without providing further evidence or information.
“Making an allegation at this stage was not just unusual but imprudent in my view,” Brahma Chellaney, with the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi, told CBC News earlier this week.
