India’s crimes in Canada and the politician allegedly behind them

https://globalnews.ca/news/10812678/india-crime-canada-politician/

Fourteen bullets fired at a home near Victoria. An Edmonton building torched by arsonists carrying a red jerrycan. A 39-year-old found dead in a Winnipeg duplex

The crimes are among several across Canada that were allegedly part of an Indian government campaign against activists and opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This kind of stuff has been an open secret for a while. The Modi government has a reputation for targeting Khalistan activists, and these incidents fit the pattern. Canada’s decision to publicly call it out just exposes what’s already been happening, and it’s about time the truth is addressed head-on, even if it means straining diplomatic relations.

Every source I could find by googling "number of Dalits in India" was my source for 166 million. Yes, it is a huge portion of the population. You not knowing about it is proving my point.

He noted that Modi had said in a speech in May, “This is the new India, the new India comes into your home to kill you.”

Well, that's not good. That's even more fascist than I'd previously read about. Awesome.

In a statement Monday, the Indian government said it “strongly rejects these preposterous imputations and ascribes them to the political agenda of the Trudeau Government that is centered around vote bank politics.”

Oh, well in that case…

At some point, Canada is gonna have to declare India an enemy and cut off diplomatic ties. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. Maybe because a lot of manufacturing wants to move to India so they don't want to hurt trade?
