this, exactly

Even if the accusations are true, India will not respond. To protect the lives of Indian nationals in Canada , and to protect the Indian high commission and ensure staff safety is paramount for them. Because, if I was an Indian who had the opposite opinion ( to these Khalistan people) - I’d be fearing for my safety- that’s a reflection of how much ‘rule of law’ these people will apply.Months ago these Khalistan activists vandalized the Indian consulate. The so-called Canadian rule of law seems pretty selective.

This activist who was killed was an illegal immigrant and criminal fugitive, and Canada PM wants to protect his interests. It’s clearly political pressure and the rule of law might be an excuse .

I’m pretty sure there’s other nations that have carried hit jobs in Canada - China , Saudi Arabia etc and we never hear about those. The leader of NDP is a Sikh and is kingmaker in Canada politics- I have a feeling Trudeau is just trying to cling to his job

> Trudeau isn't going to open his mouth on a false accusation that is just going to cause him grief.

This has to be a joke, or naivety. Trudeau is a politician, he’s no saint. As such no stranger to lying or fabricating things, especially after a really bad G20. The timing, immediately after G20 is also rather suspect.

> Trudeau is a politician, he’s no saint. As such no stranger to lying or fabricating things,

This accusation IS causing him grief--right now. If Trudeau announced this, he perceives that A) announcing this gives him an advantage somehow or B) not announcing it will cause him more grief that announcing it.

Now, it could be that Trudeau is a complete and utter dolt--I haven't been tracking Candian politics particularly strongly. It could also be that Modi somehow really pissed Trudeau off.

However, successful politicians don't generally spout lines that can be factually refuted or that can be verfied to cause allies problems. Trumpistan is the exception, not the rule.
