Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has repeatedly legitimized anti-India activities by pro-Khalistani elements. He referred to slain Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar merely as a "Canadian citizen" and accused Indian agencies of his killing without evidence. Trudeau has exhibited tolerance towards Khalistani radicals, allowing pro-Khalistan events and asserting "freedom of expression". His appeasement has emboldened anti-India groups despite India's protests. Trudeau's tacit support to Khalistani separatism for vote bank politics has strained India-Canada ties. His tendency to coddle pro-Khalistan groups harboring anti-India sentiments remains a major diplomatic challenge. (Image courtesy: ANI) For more details, click on the link below
