At my google censored blog, there is much written about Canada’s involvement in the destabilization of the ME- And it’s partnership with the PKK aka “freedom fighters” who want “democracy”, at least that’s the presentation. The reality is something else entirely.
Let’s read the latest on Canada’s political interference and terrorist support in order to affect change in India. Canada, in fact, breaches it’s own terror laws in support of certain convenient parties
To Indian eyes, Canada now looks like the sanctuary of choice for Sikh terrorists. Most Indians are skeptical of Ottawa’s extraordinary allegation that New Delhi’s recently withdrawn high commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma – an exceedingly distinguished career diplomat – is in reality the kingpin of an international crime syndicate. It’s not just nationalists who are dubious. Indians of almost every political hue now regard Canada, if not as an adversary, then as a state that gives succour to India’s avowed enemies.
The gravamen of New Delhi’s grievance against Canada is the seemingly privileged treatment extended to Sikh separatists who champion the idea of Khalistan: a Sikh theocracy hacked from the Indian state of Punjab. Canadians, long exposed to Quebec separatism, may regard Khalistan as another run-of-the-mill secessionist demand. But the thought of territorial disintegration to accommodate the demands of religious nationalism evokes a more visceral response in a country forged in the horrors of Partition in the name of faith at its independence from Britain.
Khalistan is a dead and discredited cause in India
, but its memory remains profoundly harrowing
. Its campaign of terror, peaking in the 1980s, claimed thousands of lives. It took years for its wounds – from the slaughter of innocent Sikhs who refused to renounce India to the assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi by her own Sikh bodyguards to the killings of thousands of Sikhs in the riots that followed – to heal.Yet for all the turbulence it provoked,
the Khalistan agitation was fated to fail for a simple reason: most Indian Sikhs rejected it.
Surely the campaign of terror that claimed thousands of lives had something to do with the outright rejection of this carving up of territory for a fanatical theocracy.
Most people don’t realize this is what Canada does. Always. Here’s some details on Canada’s partnership with the PKK.
Canadians training Kurds may breach anti-terrorism laws
No worries, Canada’s defence minister just shrugs of the concerns
Canadians fighting with or training Kurdish fighters may be breaching Canada’s anti-terrorism laws and could face prosecution, Canadian media reported Thursday.
A secret document labeled “For Canadian Eyes Only” prepared by government agency Transport Canada’s intelligence branch and procured by the Canadian Press through freedom of information laws warned that some factions of Kurdish militia groups are named as terrorist under federal law.
Any Canadian claiming to have links to organizations such as PKK is likely to become the subject of Canada’s anti-terror legislation, the document states.
A report from the organization released last week accused the Kurds of razing 13 villages where inhabitants were suspected of collaborating with Daesh.
AI was concerned that private Canadian citizens had joined Kurdish groups such as the PKK, designated as terrorist by the U.S., EU and under Canadian law. Alex Neve of AI Canada said Canadian troops and volunteers should be under stricter supervision and Canadian-trained Kurds should be monitored to be sure they do not commit abuses. “I think the information the government has in front of it makes it clear there are serious concerns,” he said.
Hey don’t worry, be happy. This is just business as usual.
National Post– The Ripple Effect
With the Kurds there is the danger we are supporting a secessionist movement.
Oh, the fact it is a secessionist movement is well known and supported
