Relations between India and Canada have been under severe strain since Justin Trudeau’s accusations last year of the “potential” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijhar. India recently expelled six Canadian diplomats and announced the withdrawal of its high commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma. This after Ottawa linked the Indian envoy to the investigation into Nijar’s murder. The US Department of Justice, in its indictment in the conspiracy to kill Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has drawn a direct link between former Research and Analysis Branch (RAW) officer Vikash Yadav and the Indian Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). In this episode of South Asia Diary, strategic affairs expert Sushant Sarin emphasizes that it is time for India to draw a red line with the US and Canada.
