Beyond the Headlines: The India Canada Diplomatic Storm

On this week’s Mortal Giants Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the deteriorating relationship between Canada and India, a rift that became public after September 2023 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C.  The Indian government called the accusation “absurd.”  Then both governments expelled diplomats. 

Garossino and Nadjibulla take us step-by-step through the escalating rhetoric between the two governments and the events that led to the RCMP holding a news conference on Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 to lay out the findings of their investigation — that the Modi government created a network of to follow and harass and perhaps even orchestrate the murders of Sikh separatists in Canada.
