Justin Trudeau without stating proof accused Narendra Modi’s government of killing a Sikh separatist in Canada. This Sikh is too young to have bombed Air India Flight 182 but Canadians, understandably, as a whole, in social media anyway, don’t seem to have any great love for Sikh terrorists. “There should never be forgiveness for Flight 182″ say people who remember.
Also it should be remembered that India is the country that repurposed for military use the Canadian CANDU nuclear power reactors, which in their intended use are a certain cure for the climate crisis if the world is to stop burning fossil fuels 100% (and fighting like fools over the South China Sea’s worthless oil and gas).
Comment: Without stating proof of murder but making an accusation is not the work of a world leader but the flailings of a failing PM seeking a distraction, one might think. More likely it is a diversion from Trudeau’s difficult polling. No need. Apart from so-called Conservatives who sound like their policy notes fell out of Donald Trump’s butt, there is no other choice besides PM Justin Trudeau. None. He needs to find his confidence again. And after 20 years of digging and spending 125 million dollars and not finding who are the Sikhs who murdered 300 of our countrymen from Toronto to Montreal, including 90 children! on Air India Flight 182, STFU about maybe we know who killed this terrorist until you have a something solid—like a video confession.
At the recent G21 Summit in India (Bharat), Justin Trudeau and the Canadian delegation were nearly invisible. Mainstream media reports suggest ‘Trudeau wandered around looking for someone to talk to and there were no takers’, but that is unfair because it always happens that way —to everyone at one point or another, or they are looking for someone in particular and awaiting their scheduled sideline hookup. Media-jabberwockey is nothing new either.
The mood was anti-Ukraine-war-fighting. Trudeau did not fit that. Zelenskyy didn’t fit either and was unwanted as were his angry demands unwanted for more money and more weapons from everyone.

According to various India officials and commentators in aggregate, PM Modi stands encouraged by Canada’s words in the matter of the Khalistan Referendum which was an unofficial plebiscite organized by the Sikhs for Justice in Brampton, Ontario on 19 September 2022, to support the need for a separate country for Sikhs.
This is a severe threat to India’s sovereignty and a complex problem in the context of people’s rights to self-determination for which Canada has a staccato record.
What folks are forgetting here is that the territorial demands of a religious group of people do not trump the safety and security of everyone else. Turning a country into a dysfunctional jigsaw puzzle because of one religious group’s desire for isolationism and independence is not only unreasonable, it is not doable. Another solution is needed or, just getting along with each other would be best.
Some 20% of the adult Sikh population in Canada (110,000 Sikhs), cast ballots in Brampton to favour an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan to be created by chopping up the territory of India and some say Pakistan too.
The matter between India and Canada has been controverted for years with India urging Canada to take strict action against separatist gatherings. That has not happened. Modi is nevertheless encouraged, we are told, that Canada has publicly stated that it respects India’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. Nobody actually sees how the Sikhs could ever achieve what they say they seek in a peaceful way.
Trudeau was isolated at the G21 in New Delhi & he seems miffed. “Blaming India for a murder with Zero evidence will screw up the case, and infuriate India for no good reason,” say lawyers who were interviewed.
This factor that isolated Justin Trudeau was a detectable tension and undercurrent of anger. It related to the 18 June 2023, shooting murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar (45) near a Sikh temple in the massively Sikh populated Surrey BC. Already Canada had been making innuendo that India had murdered this separatist leader. Now it’s a bold-faced accusation without proof and Modi is going ballistic and the two countries are dismissing each other’s diplomats.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-based spokesman for the group Sikhs for Justice and a person close to Mr. Nijjar, says Mr. Nijjar had asked CSIS whether he should wear a bulletproof vest in the weeks before he was gunned down. CSIS said it could not give him one. Apparently Nijjar according to a source in New Delhi who knows these men was telling CSIS that the India government was plotting to kill him, but the source says it was more likely the Pakistan government because Nijjar may have been financially supported by Pakistan but failed to deliver hence Pakistan sought to send a message to other of its assets. Allegedly, Pakistan is supporting Sikhs for Justice but is not happy with its investment.
Within India (Bharat), Mr. Nijjar was a notorious terrorist with the Khalistan movement as is believed by a few hundred million people in India who are not approving of the Sikh Khalistanis aim to destroy their country.
It’s an aggressive series of amputations to India and Pakistan that the Khalistan movement has been trying to attain by stirring up support in Canadian Sikh communities from coast to coast and in other nations around the world among the Sikh diaspora.
How does Canada’s position on Khalistan compare to the separatists under attack in the Ukraine War? Is Canada consistent?
The split of India and Pakistan that the Khalistan movement wants is far worse than the goal of ethnic Russians who got fed up with Ukraine in the tiny Luhansk PR and Donetsk PR regions of the Donbass near Ukraine (once a part of Russia), where Canada has been working with the USA, killing ethnic Russians for a decade in an effort to draw Russia into their little war by coming to the aid of the ethnic Russians NATO has now largely dwindled in numbers, sending thousands to cemeteries more thousands fleeing to places around the world, as if the world needed more migrants.
Anyone trying to understand how Canada became so involved in killing separatists in eastern Europe has thus far got their heads spinning while looking at Canada trying to help the Khalistan separatist movement seriously tear India apart. India has already made the unofficial suggestion: ‘how would you jerks like India to come along and boost your Quebec separatist movement’.
Even the eastern Europe war maestro, Joe Biden ignored his top supporter at the G21. This did not seem deliberate according to correspondents who attended. It just worked out that way in the hustle and bustle of everyone trying to seek out a member of the African Union which was adjoined to the G20 as a massive collegiate of states not unlike the European Union, but much larger.
“G21” became a popular idea in a summit that had more drive toward important human interests and crucial global values than any which has happened before.
The Heat had already begun and everyone at the G21 knew this to be true. Hardeep Singh Nijjar 45, was shot dead outside a Sikh temple on last 18 June in Surrey, a Vancouver Sikh suburb three years after India had designated Nijjar as a “terrorist”.
India’s PM Narendra Modi had made some pointed remarks to Trudeau at the G21 about the gatherings of the Khalistan separatist movement in Canada.
But now things are getting very nasty. This will seriously hurt Canada because the incompetent law enforcement agencies that kidnapped Meng Wanzhou, a Chinese princess and heir to the Huawei Technologies giant, can’t find who killed Nijjar after all this time and lots of video, so they blame India and as in the past will likely never get a conviction if the Air India disaster is any type of example of Canadian investigative competence.
No Canadian can be happy with the 1985 incompetence of the work done by Canadian law enforcement which had plenty of witnesses but allowed them to become killed or disappeared. The Sikhs who did this most massive air disaster walked free with the exception of One Person.
On 23 June 1985, Air India flight 182, a.k.a. “Emperor Kanishka” was a Boeing 747-237B registered as VT-EFO. Following an internal bomb detonation the aircraft disintegrated at 10,000 meters while heading from Montreal to London, on an Atlantic Ocean Victor Airway.
Flight 182 suspect Ripudaman Singh Malik, 75, acquitted in the 1985 Air India downing in a 2005 Duncan BC Court, was one of the accused in the 1985 bombing of Air India’s Flight 182 that killed 331 people, mostly folks from Toronto and Vancouver areas.
Ripudaman Singh Malik was murdered in mid July 2022. Malik was also gunned down in Surrey BC. Local cops caught and charged two suspects a few days later in Abbotsford and New Westminister without incident.
The Khalistan movement is a separatist movement seeking to create a homeland for Sikhs by establishing an ethno‐religious sovereign state called Khalistan ( ’land of the Khalsa’) in the Punjab region which has a Sikh-majority population. This has been going on for a long time.
Operation Blue Star was a bizarre Indian Armed Forces operation between 1 and 10 June 1984, a prelude to the Air India FLight 182 bombing, to remove Sikh militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and other Sikh separatists from the buildings of the Golden Temple, a site of Sikhism.
“A long-standing movement advocating for greater political rights for the Sikh community had previously existed in the Indian state of Punjab, and in 1973, Sikh activists presented the Indian government with the Anandpur Sahib Resolution, a list of demands for greater autonomy for Punjab. The resolution was rejected by the Indian government. In July 1982, Harchand Singh Longowal, the president of the Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal, invited Bhindranwale, who was wanted by authorities, to take up residence in the Golden Temple to evade arrest. On 1 June 1984, after negotiations with the militants failed, the prime minister of India Indira Gandhi ordered the army to launch Operation Blue Star, attacking the Golden Temple and scores of other Sikh temples and sites across Punjab,” writes Wikipedia Authors.
Did India kill the Khalistan movement extremists in Canada? Who blew up Flight 182 and killed some 300 Canadians including nearly 90 children?
Canada is no match for the secret services of India. Their background is indigenous as well as British and the ability to select from the best and the brightest spans a resource base of well over a billion people.
Canada’s incompetence in this Sikh violence matter is now legendary.
Look how long it took to reveal the horrific mass murders of children at the Residential schools hidden and probably perpetrated by the RCMP.
The case of the horrific Air India Flight 182 Catastrophe which killed some 90 children and over 200 Canadian adults was an epic fail on the part of law enforcement but lasted some 2 decades at a cost some say was as high as $125 million, others say higher, in then-year dollars. Bumbling beyond words. And the anger just does not go away.
These same CSIS morons, rejects from the RCMP rapist club, told FBI friends this writer was a suspected Russian spy for talking to the Russian Embassy public relations folks in 1986 getting both sides of the story as a Maclean Hunter journalist in Ottawa, aiming to get a picture of a Hind E helicopter sporting the AT6-Spiral anti-tank missile for a (big) story, and for a friend running the Canadian LLADs project.
CSIS are morons or in the alternative sick f*cks who try to control the elite of the Canadian media surreptitiously. Colonel Dave Hampson (PMO LLAD), a very close and dear friend, was quite amazed when I told him that the Russian Hind-E/AT-6 Missile combination had a 6-kilometer fire-and-forget radius of attack action and the NATO close combat zone was fixed with a 4-kilometer range for its air/tank defence. The Russian helicopters only needed to stand off while terrain-masking at 5-6Km then slice and dice in the Close Combat Zone.
As a result of the digging and the story, the Americans bought much better FAAD-LoS (Forward Area Air Defence Line of Sight) systems. It all worked out perfectly—the Soviets were forced to spend, spend, spend until like a dandelion poisoned, it grew itself out of the ground trying to keep up with the West and we learned how terribly incompetent the FVEY really are and why America has lost every war it ever started. The intel always sucks. Should have asked a journo like Dave did. An important lesson.

Statement of
Ministry of External Affairs Government of India
India rejects allegations by Canada.
We have seen and reject the statement of the Canadian Prime Minister in their Parliament, as also the statement by their Foreign Minister.
Allegations of Government of India’s involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and motivated. Similar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to our Prime Minister, and were completely rejected.
We are a democratic polity with a strong commitment to rule of law. Such unsubstantiated allegations seek to shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists, who have been provided shelter in Canada and continue to threaten India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The inaction of the Canadian Government on this matter has been a long-standing and continuing concern.
That Canadian political figures have openly expressed sympathy for such [Khalistani] elements remains a matter of deep concern. The space given in Canada to a range of illegal activities including murders, human trafficking and organised crime is not new.
We reject any attempts to connect Government of India to such developments. We urge the Government of Canada to take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from their soil.
