Canada’s recent accusations against India are not just a diplomatic dispute but an alarming case of state terrorism that the Canadian government is right to expose. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) recently made a startling revelation: agents of the Indian government, including the High Commissioner to Canada, have been involved in a systematic campaign of intimidation, extortion, and murder targeting their opponents in Canada. This is not a strategic move by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to distract from his political issues. It’s a genuine national security concern, too significant to be dismissed as political maneuvering.

Canada and India have each expelled six diplomats in in an escalating row over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

While Prime Minister Trudeau has previously been accused of politicizing foreign interference cases, the gravity of accusing India, a major global power, of murdering Canadian citizens on Canadian soil makes this situation unparalleled. To suggest that the RCMP would compromise its integrity to help the Prime Minister politically is beyond belief. The evidence of India’s involvement is compelling, and Canada had no choice but to act.

Some have argued that Canada should have remained quiet to preserve its relationship with India, but the notion that this is merely a “diplomatic spat” is laughable. India’s unprovoked attack on Canada, a supposed ally, is the source of escalating tensions—not Canada’s response. The suggestion that Canada is at fault for standing up against state-sanctioned violence is absurd.

 

The idea that Canada should maintain appearances while Indian government-backed hit squads roam the country is misguided. Canada must stand firm against such acts; failing to do so only invites more disrespect and danger. The Trudeau government has been slow to address the threat posed by Sikh extremists, and political figures, particularly among the Liberals, have been criticized for courting Sikh nationalist votes. However, none of this justifies India’s actions. 

 

There is no longer any reasonable doubt about India’s involvement. This isn’t a courtroom where guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. When Canada asked India to cooperate in the investigation, it refused. Even after being presented with evidence, India continued to deny responsibility. It’s implausible to think the High Commissioner acted alone without orders or knowledge from higher up.

 

India’s actions do not reflect the behavior of an ally, nor do they reflect a democracy that respects the rule of law. While India operates within the framework of democratic institutions, its current government’s behavior reveals a troubling shift towards autocracy. The notion that democracies like Canada should tolerate occasional state terrorism from India in the name of maintaining an ally against China is both morally and strategically flawed. India, at the end of the day, acts in its own interest.

 

Canada has been shielded by the belief that it has no enemies or threats to its sovereignty. This illusion is dangerous and leaves the country vulnerable to the actions of both hostile nations and indifferent bullies pursuing their own goals. It is high time that Canadians recognize the peril they face in a world that is increasingly hostile. How past governments contributed to this vulnerability should be investigated, as Justice Marie-Josée Hogue’s public inquiry seeks to do. But more importantly, it’s time to open our eyes to the dangers and take decisive action.
