When a murder takes place, such as that of a Khalistani terrorist in the parking lot of a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, investigating agencies usually track down the perpetrators, question them and, then, come to know about why they committed the act. However, in the case of the Khalistan supporter, the brilliant Canadian police have ascertained the motive without even identifying the killers or catching them.
The even more brilliant Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has issued a statement that claims a lot without any actual substance. There are ‘credible allegations’, he has said, of a ‘potential link’, between agents of the Indian Government and the killers. Again, the allegations are based, according to him on ‘solid analysis, indeed, on facts’. Are these the words that would be acceptable from any prosecutor before a judge? Facts come as an afterthought after analysis? The mere wording of the allegations against India shows it is little more than hogwash, an attempt, as many in Canada have claimed, to distract from his plunging popularity in the polls.
Justin Trudeau and, before him, his father Pierre Trudeau, are known to have been deeply involved with the Khalistan extremists, entirely overlooking their terror activities. It is obvious that this section forms one of the bulwarks of the Liberal Party’s support base. The extremists have been allowed to continue with their activities in the name of freedom of expression. Justin Trudeau’s hypocrisy has already been exposed in this regard, considering the manner in which he came down hard on those protesting his policies, to the extent of freezing their bank accounts. In contrast, the Khalistan supporters have been allowed to attack temples, the Indian Consulates, desecrate the Tricolour, take out a tableau depicting the assassination of Indira Gandhi, etc. How would the government have reacted if a similar parade had been taken out celebrating the genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany? Would that have been freedom of expression?
Trudeau is probably too deeply compromised to change his attitude towards the Khalistan extremists, but the people of Canada would be well advised to keep clear of this ‘Bhasmasura’ that has irresponsibly been fostered in their country. The ongoing policy of the government also poses a threat to people of Indian origin as well as Indian citizens living there. This is particularly important in the case of Sikhs, who in the uninformed psyche of the common people will come to be identified as violent extremists, merely because they look and dress like the Khalistan trouble-makers. The consequences could last for many decades to come.
