00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:04,599
Speaker 1: Diplomatic relations between India and Canada appeared to have collapsed

2
00:00:04,639 –> 00:00:07,599
on Monday, as both countries expelled six each other to

3
00:00:07,799 –> 00:00:11,599
diplomats following india refusal to remove the diplomatic immunity on

4
00:00:11,679 –> 00:00:15,480
some of its diplomats. Canadian governments suspected to have been

5
00:00:15,519 –> 00:00:18,719
involved in criminal acts and mother of six separatist leader

6
00:00:19,199 –> 00:00:21,960
Hadef Saint Njia, who was agitating for the declaration of

7
00:00:22,039 –> 00:00:25,519
Khalistan Republic from India, whom Indian security had accused of

8
00:00:25,559 –> 00:00:30,120
being a member of Kaliston Tiger Force KATIF, a sessionist

9
00:00:30,199 –> 00:00:33,359
arm group that was declared a terrorist organization by India

10
00:00:33,399 –> 00:00:38,159
government in February twenty twenty three. Hardief Saint Nidia was

11
00:00:38,240 –> 00:00:41,880
killed with multiple gunshots in Canada on June eighteen, twenty

12
00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:47,200
twenty three. Canadian governments accused six Indian diplomats of adding

13
00:00:47,240 –> 00:00:50,200
the criminal act and killing of the separatist leader on

14
00:00:50,320 –> 00:00:55,520
its soil. On Monday, Canada expelled the six diplomats, following

15
00:00:55,600 –> 00:00:58,840
India to remove immunity claws to pave way for Canadian

16
00:00:58,960 –> 00:01:03,840
security operatives to investigate them. India, in a swift reaction

17
00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:08,640
on Hondai, retaliated and expelled six top Canadian diplomats and

18
00:01:08,760 –> 00:01:11,719
said it has recalled its diplomats from Canada on the

19
00:01:11,760 –> 00:01:14,079
ground that they were no longer safe in the North

20
00:01:14,159 –> 00:01:18,359
America country. Khalistan is the name of the proposed state

21
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:22,239
and vision by some Sikhs incorporated the Indian state of

22
00:01:22,359 –> 00:01:26,040
Punjab as well as other Punjabi speaking areas of northern

23
00:01:26,079 –> 00:01:30,680
India to establish a sick nation. The Ethno religious liberation

24
00:01:30,920 –> 00:01:34,640
movement gained attention in the nineteen seventeenth and early nineteen

25
00:01:34,719 –> 00:01:39,640
eighties in India. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a

26
00:01:39,760 –> 00:01:44,239
press conference said the Indian government made a fundamental error

27
00:01:44,280 –> 00:01:48,000
in thinking that the Cold engage in supporting criminal activities

28
00:01:48,040 –> 00:01:53,200
against Canadians here on Canadian soil. The Economic Times reported

29
00:01:53,239 –> 00:01:58,359
that ATAIWDI expelled six Canadian diplomats from India. Foreign policy

30
00:01:58,400 –> 00:02:02,480
experts and senior fellow at the Observable Research Foundation Social

31
00:02:02,599 –> 00:02:06,760
Sarenh called for an investigation into Canada’s interference in India’s

32
00:02:06,760 –> 00:02:11,759
internal affairs. He emphasized the need to probe Canadian NGOs

33
00:02:11,840 –> 00:02:15,960
and embassies that support carlist elements, the cannon work of

34
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:20,560
our officials about whom Canadians have said that investigations can

35
00:02:20,560 –> 00:02:24,159
be done against them. If you say this about any official,

36
00:02:24,280 –> 00:02:28,240
that the will be investigated, then it becomes completely dishonest

37
00:02:28,280 –> 00:02:31,639
for them to stay in the country. The official can’t

38
00:02:31,719 –> 00:02:36,479
function there, Saren said. Saren asserted that India has given

39
00:02:36,520 –> 00:02:39,840
a strong reaction both along with it there should also

40
00:02:39,879 –> 00:02:44,000
be some action. The reaction is quite strong, but along

41
00:02:44,039 –> 00:02:48,560
with the reaction, there should be some action also. Canada’s

42
00:02:48,599 –> 00:02:53,680
interference in India, be it their NGOs, their embassies should

43
00:02:53,759 –> 00:02:57,039
also be investigated so that they can be exposed as

44
00:02:57,039 –> 00:03:02,520
to how they encourage Carlistanis. India can keep open embassies,

45
00:03:02,560 –> 00:03:07,479
but can close their consulates if relations deteriorate. Furder Saren

46
00:03:07,599 –> 00:03:11,479
also spoke about the deteriorating relations between the two nations

47
00:03:11,479 –> 00:03:15,120
and asserted that even if Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

48
00:03:15,240 –> 00:03:18,120
is not there in power, the relations will not get

49
00:03:18,199 –> 00:03:23,120
better soon. Roters reported and stated that the diplomatic role

50
00:03:23,159 –> 00:03:27,800
represents a major deterioration of relations between the two Commonwealth countries.

51
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:32,400
Ties have been freed since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

52
00:03:32,439 –> 00:03:35,599
said last year he had evidence linking Indian agents to

53
00:03:35,639 –> 00:03:39,039
the assassination of Sikh leader had off Saint Lejia on

54
00:03:39,159 –> 00:03:44,599
Canadian territory. The government now has clear and compelling evidence

55
00:03:44,639 –> 00:03:47,680
that agents of the Government of India have engaged in

56
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:51,479
and continue to engage in, activities that pose a significant

57
00:03:51,560 –> 00:03:55,360
trend to public safety, Trudeau said at a news conference.

58
00:03:56,199 –> 00:04:01,759
These activities involved clandestine information gathering techne leagues, colossive behavior

59
00:04:02,280 –> 00:04:06,680
targeting South Asian Canadians, and involvement in over a dozen threatening,

60
00:04:06,919 –> 00:04:13,159
end violent acts, including murder. He said. This is unacceptable,

61
00:04:13,479 –> 00:04:17,360
he said, earning that India had committed a fundamental error

62
00:04:17,399 –> 00:04:22,040
by engaging in criminal activities in Canada. India has long

63
00:04:22,120 –> 00:04:27,279
denied Trudeause accusations. On Monday, it dismissed Canada’s move on

64
00:04:27,360 –> 00:04:31,480
the inquiry and accused Trudeau of pursuing a political agenda.

65
00:04:32,240 –> 00:04:35,720
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in an earlier news

66
00:04:35,759 –> 00:04:39,399
conference the government of India had undertaken a broad campaign

67
00:04:39,399 –> 00:04:44,680
against Indian dissidents, including homicides and extortion. It had also

68
00:04:44,839 –> 00:04:48,399
used organized crime to target the South Asian community in

69
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:54,199
Canada and intervaled in democratic processes, police said. Bridget Govin,

70
00:04:54,759 –> 00:05:00,160
RCMP’s assistant commissioner said, what we have said is the

71
00:05:00,279 –> 00:05:04,519
use of organized crime elements and named the Vishnoi group.

72
00:05:05,360 –> 00:05:08,800
She said the group we believe is connected to the

73
00:05:08,839 –> 00:05:13,480
agents of the government of India. Canada’s Foreign ministry said

74
00:05:13,920 –> 00:05:17,439
the decision to expel these individuals was met with great

75
00:05:17,480 –> 00:05:21,800
consideration and only after the SEMP gathered ample, clear and

76
00:05:21,920 –> 00:05:26,480
concrete evidence which identified six individuals as persons of interest

77
00:05:26,560 –> 00:05:30,199
in the Nijia case. India said it was withdrawing its

78
00:05:30,240 –> 00:05:33,639
diplomats from Canada because it was not confident that the

79
00:05:33,680 –> 00:05:37,399
assulti could be guaranteed. We have no friends in the

80
00:05:37,439 –> 00:05:43,120
current Canadian government’s commitment to ensure their security. Therefore, the

81
00:05:43,160 –> 00:05:46,800
Government of India has decided to withdraw the High Commissioner

82
00:05:46,839 –> 00:05:51,480
and other targeted diplomats and officials, India’s Foreign Ministry said

83
00:05:51,519 –> 00:05:55,480
in its statement. India also said it had asked six

84
00:05:55,519 –> 00:06:00,199
Canadian diplomats to leave by Saturday. The ministry also said

85
00:06:00,199 –> 00:06:03,560
it had someoned Acting High Commissioner in India’s Towards Wheeler,

86
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:08,920
currently Canada’s top diplomat in the South Asian country. Canada’s

87
00:06:08,959 –> 00:06:13,160
Foreign Minister, Melanie Johnny, said the government had requested India

88
00:06:13,279 –> 00:06:16,639
to remove the diplomatic immunity of six diplomats so that

89
00:06:16,720 –> 00:06:21,360
the Canadian investigative agencies could question them regarding the allegations

90
00:06:21,399 –> 00:06:26,399
of criminal activity. But since India did not cooperate, it

91
00:06:26,560 –> 00:06:31,360
had to expel the diplomats. We’re not seeking diplomatic confrontation

92
00:06:31,560 –> 00:06:35,319
with India, she said, but we will not sit quietly

93
00:06:35,519 –> 00:06:39,920
as agents of any country are linked to efforts to threaten, harass,

94
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:44,680
or even kill Canadians. Canada withdrew more than fourteen diplomats

95
00:06:44,680 –> 00:06:48,360
from India in October twenty twenty three afternoon, Delhi asked

96
00:06:48,360 –> 00:06:54,000
Ottawa to reduce its diplomatic presence. According to Routers sas
