    Sorry about the word, but this MBS/Putin type of behavior. I would not believe this but for the fact that the Canadian government certainly does

    He raised the issue with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the recent G20 summit, he said.

    "Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty," Mr. Trudeau said on Monday in the House of Commons.

    "It is contrary to the fundamental rules by which free, open and democratic societies conduct themselves," he said.


    India could be behind killing of Canadian Sikh - Trudeau

    India has previously denied any involvement with Mr Nijjar's murder.

    Canada also expelled an Indian diplomat on Monday over the case, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly told reporters following Mr Trudeau's remarks.

    If Canada provides evidence, I'll believe it, though I tend to as I can't imagine making the allegation without any.

    If I was Trudeau I would start assassinating opponents of Canada in India. First, of course, you have to find one. Such a person would have to be pretty Sikh, I mean sick.

    more on this. what is the appropriate response by the US?

    Indian gov't official directed Sikh separatist's assassination plot in US, DOJ says | Reuters

    NEW YORK, Nov 29 (Reuters) - An Indian government official directed an unsuccessful plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist on U.S. soil, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday, in announcing charges against a man accused of orchestrating the attempted murder.

    Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Nikhil Gupta, 52, worked with the Indian government employee, whose responsibilities included security and intelligence, to assassinate a New York City resident who advocated for a Sikh sovereign state in northern India.

    Prosecutors did not name the Indian official or the target. Gupta was arrested by Czech authorities in June and is awaiting extradition. He could not be reached for comment.

    "The defendant conspired from India to assassinate, right here in New York City, a U.S. citizen of Indian origin who has publicly advocated for the establishment of a sovereign state for Sikhs," Damian Williams, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, said in a statement.

    Thanks for that - I missed it. Looks like this is the response for now:

    The charges come after a senior Biden administration official last week said U.S. authorities had thwarted a plot to kill a Sikh separatist in the United States and issued a warning to India over concerns the government in New Delhi was involved.

    Sounds like the official may also be indicted under seal. Either way, India is really overstepping.

    This is just another example of what a weak leader Biden is.

    If Trump was still in office, the assassinations would have happened, and India would have given Kushner $2B to "manage" for them.
