Justin Trudeau Faces Political Crisis Amid India-Canada Diplomatic Row Over Nijjar Killing

Oct 19, 2024, 03:32 PM

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing significant political challenges amid escalating diplomatic tensions between India and Canada. Trudeau has been accused of making baseless allegations against Indian diplomats, which has led to a severe diplomatic row. The situation has been exacerbated by Trudeau's alleged connections with Khalistani elements and his attempts to deflect attention from domestic political issues, including the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, described as a gangland killing. The diplomatic crisis has resulted in both nations expelling each other's diplomats, with experts suggesting that Trudeau's political survival is at stake. The Indian government has firmly denied any involvement in the allegations made by Trudeau and has received support from various international entities for standing against these accusations, which they term as transnational repression.
