India-Canada ties deteriorated in October 2024 as a result of fresh accusations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Khalistan supporters spread posters featuring the visage of the Indian High Commissioner who was stationed in Canada. Only a few hours before Canada ejected him, India recalled him. The snakes that have been growing in Canada’s garden in recent years have now taken over its foreign policy, and it might not be long before they begin to bite back.
In October 2024, new charges from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau caused relations between India and Canada to worsen. Posters with the image of the Indian High Commissioner stationed in Canada were circulated by Khalistanis. India recalled him just hours before Canada expelled him. Canada’s foreign policy has been overtaken by the snakes that have been growing in its garden in recent years, and it may not be long before they start to strike back.
Since the middle of the 1980s, the Khalistan movement in India has not been active. A Pew Research Survey conducted in 2021 found that 95% of Indian Sikhs were “overwhelmingly proud of their Indian identity.” Furthermore, 70% of respondents said that a person cannot be a true Sikh if they disrespect the nation. These harsh realities infuriate foreign-based Khalistani separatists, who will stop at nothing to maintain the cause.
On the anniversary of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s death in June 2024, members of parliament from every political party in Canada observed a minute of silence. The Canadian Parliament honored Nijjar, who had been on Canada’s No Fly List since 2016 and had his personal bank account frozen because of his involvement in terror training camps! By praising and rewarding criminals, the nation flying the maple flag is genuinely upholding the colonial heritage of its French and British forebears.

Canada, the United States, and the West must realize one basic fact: India’s security concerns are no less legitimate than yours were during the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. In 1985, Khalistanis bombed Air India Flight 182, killing 329 people, 268 of them were Canadians. Both Canadian intelligence and Indian RAW personnel have forewarned the Canadian government of the threat. Twenty-five years later, the Canadian Commission of Inquiry’s 2010 report, Air India Flight 182: A Canadian Tragedy, recognized a “cascading series of errors” made by the RCMP, CSIS, and Canadian ministries. How cruel and irresponsible can a nation be to let 268 of its own people perish?

Such actions could carry “maximum penalties of $5,000 or five years’ imprisonment or both” in the United States, which prides itself on being the head of the rules-based international order. However, since Pannun is a first-world citizen attacking a so-called third-world nation, nothing will be done against him. These are the perks that some people enjoy.
The long-standing Western practice of keeping deadly snakes must end. Raised in the neighborhood of India in the 1980s, these snakes traveled over the Atlantic to bite their snake charmer. They are now being raised domestically in the West. Before long, they will begin to retaliate.
