After the prime minister accused India of being linked to the slaying of a Canadian, the Liberals now say diplomacy is best done in private.
On Tuesday, the Justin Trudeau government responded to news that India was kicking out 41 Canadian diplomats by saying diplomatic talks should remain private. This from the same government that announced in Parliament that there were “credible allegations” linking India to an assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.“We are in contact with the government of India.
“Over the past number of weeks, Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen,” Trudeau told the Commons two weeks ago. While adding that those responsible for Nijjar’s killing must be held accountable, that’s about as much as Canada is getting from its allies.Canadian citizens seeking a visa to enter India have been told there will be none. That affects not only tourists, but many Canadians who want to travel for family events like India’s wedding season, which is just getting started.
If there is proof that India was involved in the killing of Nijjar, a man India had declared a separatist and had looked to have extradited, then Trudeau must produce it. This doesn’t mean laying the whole case bare, but it does mean putting enough in the public domain to make Canada’s case and call Modi’s bluff.
