Indo-Canadian groups support the visit of Indian PM to the G7 leaders' summit
Toronto: While pro-Khalistan elements campaigned over the weekend against the participation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 leaders' summit being hosted by Canada this month, several Indo-Canadians groups have supported the invitation and stressed that anti-India protesters may be loud but they comprise a fraction of the community. Among those supporting the initiative of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite his Indian counterpart of the summit in Kananaskis in Alberta in mid-June was Radio India managing director Maninder Gill. He said, 'We have received a lot of calls from our listeners at Radio India welcoming PM Modi's visit to Canada. I congratulate PM Carney for putting Canada first, diaspora politics cannot guide Canada's foreign policy. Fringe sectarian groups cannot hold the India-Canada relationship as hostage.' Gill, who also leads the Friends of Canada and India Foundation, had written to Carney earlier asking the PM to invite Modi and received an acknowledgement from the prime minister's office stating the concerns he had raised had been 'carefully read' and that the remarks had been forwarded to Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand for 'her information and consideration'. 'Those opposing PM Modi's visit to Canada do not represent the entire Sikh community, the membership of these groups limited to couple of hundred people in a 2 million strong diaspora,' Gill asserted. The Hindu Canadian Foundation also praised Carney, saying the PM was 'demonstrating strong leadership by staying true to his commitment to put Canada first. He remains steadfast in his vision, focusing on what truly benefits Canadians without yielding to external pressures'. In a post on X, Canada India Foundation chair Ritesh Malik said Carney 'did the right thing for us Canadians' by inviting Modi. 'Only people who don't like this is shallow minded, selfish, self-centred who pretend to be Canadians & work on their hateful agenda,' he added. But opponents of the invite made their presence felt over the weekend during protests in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Brampton in the Greater Toronto Area. On display were tableaux depicting Indian leaders behind bars for the killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey on June 18, 2023. The secessionist group Sikhs for Justice has planned a 'convoy' to the G7 to protest Modi's presence there, and given a call to 'Ambush Modi's Politics' for 48 hours on June 16 and June 17. The leaders' summit is scheduled for June 15-17 and the venue adjoins the city of Calgary.

‘India may offer mechanism to address Canada's concerns over Nijjar's killing, Indian gangs'
Toronto: India may offer Canada a mechanism to address the latter's concern over violent transnational crime on its territory, as a mean of transcending the irritants that have troubled the relationship. That was indicated by a person familiar with such discussions. While that may be a subject of the conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney when they meet bilaterally for the first time, possibly on June 17, the person did not say whether the mechanism will be formal. But it will take into consideration the killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18, 2023, as well as activities of Indian gangs like that led by Lawrence Bishnoi. In return, the person said, even as intelligence sharing has resumed between the two countries, enhanced cooperation, particularly with regard to separatists supporting or funding violence in India, will be expected from Ottawa. On Friday, during the course of a press conference in Ottawa, Carney had suggested as much, when he said, ''Bilaterally, we have now agreed, importantly, to continue law enforcement dialogue so there's been some progress on that.' Ties between the two nations deteriorated after then Canadian PM Justin Trudeau stated in the House of Commons on September 18, 2023, that there were 'credible allegations' of a potential link between Indian agents and the Nijjar murder three months earlier. India described those accusations as 'absurd' and 'motivated'. In October last year, India withdrew six officials from Canada after Ottawa requested New Delhi waive their diplomatic immunity so they could be questioned in connection with violent criminal activity in the country. In retaliation, India expelled six Canadian diplomats. However, the situation has changed, for the better, with Trudeau's departure in March, and Carney's invitation to Modi, during the course of a telephonic conversation on Friday, has helped that process. But Canada will keep these issues on its agenda, as a release from the prime minister's office stated on Saturday that one of its priorities for the G7 will be 'strengthening peace and security, countering foreign interference and transnational crime, and improving joint responses to wildfires. However, it also noted that the global meet will have 'a forward-looking agenda that engages partners beyond the G7, recognising that our long-term security and prosperity will depend on building coalitions with reliable partners and common values'. Speaking to reporters from Paris on Saturday, Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand said, 'The Prime Minister has invited Prime Minister Modi in recognition of the fact that this is the meting of the G7 where global leaders are meeting to discuss global issues including the global economy.' Qualifying that statement, she added, 'The fact that leaders from a number of countries have been invited to this meeting does not and should not detract from the importance of the independent investigation that is ongoing (into Nijjar's killing) and the rule of law considerations which are absolutely paramount.'
