"Big win for Indian narrative..." Canadian Journo as Trudeau confesses “No Hard Proof” against India

Oct 17, 2024

Toronto (Canada), October 17 (ANI): Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent statement downplaying evidence against India is being considered as a significant victory for the Indian narrative. Daniel Bordman said, "This is a pretty big win for the Indian narrative right now... From the Canadian perspective, we had gone pretty hard. We had gone to the point where we had kicked out a diplomat... We had named the Indian High Commission. We started this publicly... He was then asked about this, and he came out and said, we have intelligence... On the geopolitical technicality aspect, India wins here because you never said you had evidence. But what does it change from the grand structures of things? Ultimately, the diplomatic spat is really about the unanswered question, was Hardeep Singh Nijjar a Khalistani terrorist or a community activist? And that general disagreement has not moved..." On India's statement reacting to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's statement, Canadian Journalist Daniel Bordman said, "That's a very good statement to hear if you're a Canadian because the signalling there is that the relationships while Justin Trudeau is the prime minister, are in cryostasis. It leaves the door open that if there is a change of government and a less generally hostile administration, deals can be made and we can all get back to normal. But they do lay the blame here on PM Trudeau, who claimed to have hard evidence against Indian diplomats and then came out with intelligence... The story of it was a one-time crime, they used gangsters to be part of the assassination of a Khalistani terrorist leader on Canadian soil... It is good to hear, as Canadians that this can end when the Trudeau government ends... If you look at the polling, the Liberals are about to get obliterated in any poll. There's an internal caucus revolt right now. There are so many scandals that this Indian scandal will be lost in the noise of the next scandal, which should debut in a week or so. And that's a win for India. They didn't come out with hard evidence, they came out with intel and India gets to stick to its guns. And what's the world going to do? Embargo India? Start a trade war with India, where we have the problems of Iran and Russia and the rest of the Middle East to deal with?"
