I am not entirely aware of what happened during the 80s. But India was ruled by Congress party under Indira Gandhi, not the current "Hindu nationalist" BJP. When the farmers protest happened recently, even though the farmers (most of them Sikhs) were literally chasing away policemen with swords and tractors, the government didn't do any violence (beating protesters with batons, water cannons don't really count since its a standard practice in my South Indian state as well). In South India, the local government literally used police snipers to kill 12 protesters when people were protesting against pollution by a factory [1]. So, when compared to that, the farmer protesters (majority Sikh) were pampered.
If the government has actually killed him, and if it would prevent the deaths of 1000s in the future, it is definitely worth it.

They had plans to bomb another plane, but it detonated in advance killing two employees in Japan since they didn't take into account DST. Indian agencies had warned Canada about attacks of this nature. Justin Trudeau's father was the prime minister when this happened.

3. When the farmer's protest occurred in India, Justin Trudeau came in support of the protesters. Then when the Canadian truckers protested, they were forcibly removed.
