Justin Trudeau Ignites a Political Firestorm With 1.4 Billion People in India

On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sparked the greatest diplomatic quarrel between Canada and India in the history of their bilateral relations. Trudeau reiterated previous claims that Indian diplomats orchestrated the death of Khalistani rebel Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

In a tit-for-tat diplomatic exchange, India recalls six Indian diplomats, including the High Commissioner, and expelled six Canadian diplomats.

Justin Trudeau stated that his government had attempted to collaborate with India, but its response has been to deny, obfuscate, and attack him personally and the integrity of the government of Canada.

Melanie Joly, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that sitting Indian diplomats were involved in violent acts that increased following Trudeau’s allegation of India’s possible involvement in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India disputed Canada’s charges on Monday, accusing Justin Trudeau’s government of targeting Indian diplomates without justification and threatening their safety. “We have no faith in the current Canadian government’s resolve to secure their safety, New Deli stated yesterday.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated in a statement that the Trudeau government has consciously provided space for violent extremists and terrorists to harass, threaten, and intimidate Indian diplomats and community leaders in Canada.

Trudeau’s Support of the Khalistan separatist movement

Justin Trudeau’s close ties to the Khalistan separatist movement, as well as his sympathies for declared terrorists and extremists who preach hatred, violence, and extremism on Canadian soil, are all intended to appeal to his voter base.

Trudeau’s claims on Monday sparked a firestorm in India, with a vast majority of the country’s 1.4 billion people rallying behind Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to (NDTV) New Deli Television News.

NDVT stated that Mr Trudeau is facing a series of political setbacks in Canada and he has frequently supported the Khalistani separatist movement and permitted them to operate in  Canada.

Justin Trudeau has stood shoulder to shoulder with terrorists, fanatics, and separatists at Khalistan demonstrations across Canada, and doing so, he has directly violated India’s national security concerns, as well as India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity by supporting those who want to carve out another nation from India – all under the guise of “free speech in Canada.”

According to New Deli television, Trudeau has lost significant electoral ground in recent months as a major ally, Jagmeet Singh, withdrew support from his party, and Trudeau is attempting to soothe his “voter bank.”

Justin Trudeau has suffered several political losses in recent months. What has alarmed him is that he has lost the backing of his crucial ally, Jagmeet Singh’s party. Singh openly supports ‘Khalistan’.

Political fallout in Canada

Doubts about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership grew after his ruling Liberal Party suffered two humiliating defeats in a special election, but the unpopular leader is desperate to hold on to power ahead of a national election.

The result, which followed a defeat in Toronto in late June, reinforced the view that the Liberals’ chances in the next national election are bleak. The mandate for Trudeau’s minority administration expires at the end of October 2025, but an early election appears increasingly likely.

Although surveys show the Liberals will lose heavily to the official opposition right-of-center Conservatives in the next election due to dissatisfaction with inflation, healthcare, and the housing crisis, Trudeau and his closest aides insist he is not going anywhere and has time to help the party recover.

Faced with the possibility of losing his position as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has launched a series of claims against India in an attempt to polarize the electorate while catering to his vote bank in a desperate attempt to get as much support as possible in order to retain his position.
