He also said that any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil was an unacceptable breach of our sovereignty. Following Trudeau’s remarks, Foreign Minister Mu00e9lanie Joly declared the expulsion from Canada of a senior Indian official.

When Canada saw the greatest terrorist attack in its history, the Air India bombing on June 23, 1985, which murdered all 329 individuals aboard, primarily Canadians of Indian descent, such promptness was conspicuously absent. Within three months of the bombing, there was no rush to inform the House of Commons of the offenders or the results of the investigation.
Only one person (Inderjit Singh Reyat) was convicted in the case, and that too on the basis of perjury, demonstrating that Canada not only failed to stop the attack but also carried out a poor investigation.The level of error, incompetence, and inattention which occurred before the flight was sadly mirrored in many ways for many years, in how authorities, Governments, and institutions dealt with the aftermath of the murder of so many innocents, the Justice John Major Commission stated in a damning report.

After failing to provide the Kanishka victims with justice, Canada is now upset over the death of Nijjar, who was charged by India’s National Investigation Agency with trying to resurrect terrorism in Punjab. If there is concrete proof that Indian spies are at fault, Ottawa should immediately inform New Delhi of it.
Making snap judgments without a trial reveals Trudeau’s efforts to court extreme organizations that represent a threat to India’s territorial sovereignty. In reaction, New Delhi rightfully removed a Canadian diplomat. Such tenacity is necessary to persuade Ottawa to change its ways.
