Canada Has Invited PM Modi For G7 Summit, But India Must Remain Cautiously Optimistic
Last Updated: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation for PM Narendra Modi shows that even Canada realises that India can't be ignored Canada's invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the G7 Summit next week has stunned not only the Congress, but also the Khalistani groups who have been running rampant in Canada. The former has been humbled after questioning PM Modi's potential absence, while the latter have begun protests. PM Modi will be in Canada after a decade. His last visit was in 2015 as part of a three-nation tour. Since 2024, besides Pakistan, India's diplomatic ties hit rock bottom with only one other country — Canada. Accusatory barbs were exchanged and diplomats were withdrawn. In such a scenario, Modi's visit to Canada seemed improbable. This is why the invite from new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney assumes significance. It shows that even Canada realises, albeit under a new administration, that India can't be ignored. judge Canada based on its actions. Certainly, the tempers have cooled and the winds are shifting since the departure of former PM Justin Trudeau. Both sides are ready to discuss 'security cooperation". But India would be wise to avoid a full reset. Not until Canada ensures decisive action – arrests, clampdowns, and real-time intelligence cooperation — against the anti-India Khalistani groups operating from Canadian soil. Carney has so far made encouraging remarks, prompting hopes of a bilateral meeting between him and Modi on the sidelines of the G7 Summit. Carney has avoided mentioning Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, only referencing 'earlier strains in the relationship" and suggesting 'they can be addressed with mutual respect". When asked how he would justify the decision to invite Modi while some in Canada question it in light of the ongoing legal proceedings, Carney was clear: 'We are a country of the rule of law, and the rule of law is proceeding as it should…and I am not going to disrupt that process of law." Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister @MarkJCarney of Canada. Congratulated him on his recent election victory and thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this month. As vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and Canada…— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 6, 2025 MONEY MATTERS Carney has publicly stated that India's emergence among the five biggest economies in the world, with a key role in the supply chains, is why the 'invite to PM Modi makes sense". Canada's Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre went on to add: ' India has been at the last six G7 conferences. It is one of the biggest and fastest growing economies. We need to sell our natural gas and civilian nuclear power technology to India. We need to work with India on trade and security. The invite is necessary." Canada realises that ignoring India any further could be catastrophic for its economy in the future. For India, the key is a dialogue between their law enforcement agencies, given the turbulence in India-Canada ties over the past year. Under Trudeau, Canada went so far as to directly accuse Indian agents and top Indian leaders of masterminding Nijjar's killing without providing any proof. This created an atmosphere of zero trust, leading to India's expulsion of Canadian diplomats and suspension of visa services. India also recalled its ambassador. With Trudeau's departure, India hopes Carney is pragmatic and realises that maintaining good relations and harbouring anti-India groups cannot go hand in hand. INDIA'S CONCERNS Indian diplomats in Canada remain under serious threat from Khalistani groups, against whom Canada does not act, citing 'their freedom of speech". Khalistani extremists openly brandish swords and daggers on Canadian streets and threaten India's top leaders. Their chief sympathiser political party, the NDP and its leader Jagmeet Singh, suffered a crushing defeat in the recent Canadian elections, winning only seven of the 343 seats, with Singh losing his seat. This was apparently a significant blow to the Khalistani factor in Canada. But now, the Carney government needs to walk the talk. Carney's approach to India is a clear departure from Trudeau's. He said the Canada-India relationship was 'incredibly important". But he needs to act against these anti-India groups and their finances, to earn India's trust. India must not forget the events of the past year, and judge Carney not just by his words, but his actions. Modi's G7 engagements since 2019 demonstrate India's deepening global footprint and the trust placed in the PM's global leadership. India must leverage this to ensure Canada falls in line and is no longer a haven for anti-India extremists. The G7 Summit will be Carney's first test on this count.

Explained: Stepping up Naxal fight, carrying on welfare push
The first year of Modi 3.0 has seen the government step up its efforts to root out the decades-long Naxal insurgency, while building on flagship welfare policies introduced in its previous two terms. Final push against Naxals Union Home Minister Amit Shah last August announced that Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) would be eliminated from the country by March 31, 2026. This was a statement of the government's intent to bring an end to the insurgency that has cast a shadow over the very heart of the country. To this end, security forces have registered significant gains against Naxals over the past year, especially in Chhattisgarh and parts of Jharkhand and Odisha, considered to be the last bastions of the Maoists. Major inroads have been made in Maoist strongholds in the Bijapur-Sukma-Dantewada tri-junction in Chhattisgarh, supported by intensified operations, the construction of forward operating bases, and better road connectivity. In Chhattisgarh alone, security forces have killed 209 Maoists in the first five months of 2025, compared to 219 in all of 2024. In 2023, forces had killed 53 Maoists across states. Those killed in encounters include top Maoist commanders: the biggest success came on May 21when security forces killed CPI Maoist general secretary Basavaraju in the forests of Abujhmad. Key to these recent successes, sources said, has been the political will of the government, intelligence-driven operations, improved coordination between state and central agencies, and state forces such as the District Reserve Guards of Chhattisgarh taking the lead in operations. However, there have also been some setbacks. Maoist ambushes in places such as Kolhan, Jharkhand, and Abujhmad, Chhattisgarh, have resulted in casualties among security forces, and indicated that Naxals retain the ability to hit back in their strongholds. The road ahead involves not only sustaining pressure on residual Maoist zones but also ensuring that governance and infrastructure reach these regions. Expanding Ayushman Bharat In what might be the most significant decision yet under Modi 3.0, the Centre last September approved the expansion of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) to include all Indians above the age of 70 years, irrespective of their income or social status. Launched in 2018, PM-JAY is the Modi government's flagship programme in the health sector. Even prior to its expansion, it was the world's largest health insurance scheme, providing free cover of upto Rs 5 lakh per family per year to 40% of the most economically backward households in India. By extending universal coverage to the elderly, the Centre has anticipated what might be one of India's biggest challenges in the coming decades. According to the government's Longitudinal Ageing Study in India, the number of senior citizens (60 years and above) will increase from 103 million in 2011 to 319 million in 2050, going up from 8.6% of the total population to 19.5%. According to the India Ageing Report 2023, just over 20% of this population was covered by any government, employer-provided, or personal insurance scheme. Major infra push Last year, the government approved the extension of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) till 2029, paving the way for the construction of two crore more houses under the programme. The Centre has already released Rs 34,000 crore to states under the PMAY-G, and cleared the allocations of 84.45 lakh houses. The Centre has also approved Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana-IV (PMGSY-IV) to connect 25,000 villages with all-weather roads by 2028-29. In the agriculture sector, the government last September launched the Digital Agriculture Mission, allocating Rs 2,817 crore for provisions of the umbrella scheme. These include creating Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and implementing the Digital General Crop Estimation Survey (DGCES).

Explained: Lok Sabha blip is past, BJP back in business
The 2024 general elections saw the BJP fall short of a majority in Lok Sabha with its tally dropping from 303 to 240 seats. For the first time since 2014, the party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to rely on coalition partners to be in government. A year later, 2024's electoral setback appears to have been but a minor bump in the road for the Modi juggernaut. While continuing to bank on its nationalist credentials and image as a strong, uncompromising government, Modi 3.0 has taken policy stances that the opposition has struggled to counter. Here's a recap. A quick rebound In the past year, the BJP has secured clear majorities in state Assembly elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Delhi, cementing its status as the most dominant political force in the country, the 2024 blip notwithstanding. In Haryana, where it had won just five out of 10 Lok Sabha seats in June 2024, the BJP bounced back in October, winning 48 seats in the 90-seat Assembly. Then in November, the BJP on its own won 132 seats in the 288-seat Maharashtra Assembly, with its Mahayuti alliance winning a whopping 235 seats. In February this year, the BJP returned to power in the national capital for the first time in 27 years, winning 48 seats in the 70-seat Assembly and ending a decade of AAP rule in Delhi. While the BJP did not win the Assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir, it was dominant in Jammu, winning 29 seats to Congress' six. The National Conference came to power after winning 42 seats. In fact the only significant Assembly polls setback for the BJP was in Jharkhand last October. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha won 31 of the 81 seats, and returned to government in alliance with the Congress, which won 16 seats. The BJP secured 21 seats. Winning narrative war The BJP's successes over the past year come on the back of its ability to keep tight control of the political narrative, and repeatedly push the opposition into uncomfortable corners. The best example for this is Operation Sindoor, on whose back the BJP now rides a wave of nationalism across the country. Military successes aside, the Modi government has leveraged the operation to push the opposition, especially Congress, on the backfoot. Like in times past, the Congress has struggled to find an apt political idiom to counter the government on national security matters. Its recent attacks have focussed on the government allegedly capitulating to international pressure while agreeing to a ceasefire. But this flies in the face of the overwhelming national consensus, which views Op Sindoor as a resounding success that has established a new normal in India's response to terrorism. Several opposition leaders — including Shashi Tharoor and Salman Khurshid of the Congress, K Kanimozhi of the DMK, and Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM — too have echoed this position, and been a part of all-party delegations sent abroad to explain and defend the government's actions. That the Congress has repeatedly thrown jibes at Tharoor for his eloquent defence of Op Sindoor shows how confused the party is, a stark contrast to the BJP with its clear, resonant messaging. Strong but deft After 2024 elections, there was a perception that Modi 3.0 would be shakier than the previous two governments. The government's actions thus far prove that that is far from the case. Most notably, Modi 3.0 has continued to address its core ideological projects, much like it had done in its first and second term. In April, Parliament passed the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Much like the 2019 law banning triple talaq, the Waqf Act is borne out of the BJP's long-stated desire to bring transparency and a sense of justice in matters pertaining to the Muslim community. The law is currently under challenge in the Supreme Court. The first year of Modi 3.0 also saw progress on the Prime Minister's pet idea of instituting simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies, with the introduction of two crucial Bills. Moreover, the government has been deft in its political manoeuvring. By unexpectedly deciding to enumerate caste in the next census, the government has turned the tables on the Congress and Rahul Gandhi who have invested a lot of political capital on the matter for close to two years. Effectively co-opting Congress' caste plank, the BJP has accused past Congress governments of not allowing a caste census, 'insulting' Dr B R Ambedkar, and putting the Mandal Commission report on OBC quotas on the backburner in the 1980s. As the Modi 3.0 turns one, there is every indication that the Prime Minister is well and truly in charge of a strong government, and like in his two previous terms, the Congress is yet to get its act together.
