"More money in trade with India than there is with Pakistani proxy, propped up by China": Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman's on PM Modi's visit, Sikh extremism
Calgary [Canada], June 17 (ANI): Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman shed light on the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's to attend the 51st G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta amid the complex dynamics between India and Canada, particularly regarding the Sikh extremist. Bordman described the visit as a 'significant' development with implications for domestic politics, trade, and the country's handling of extremism. Bordman said that the Khalistan movement is a significant obstacle in India-Canada relations. He asserted that Canada's leniency towards Sikh separatist groups operating in Canada, allegedly funded by Pakistan, is perceived as support for terrorism and balkanization by India. 'It is pretty significant for Canada because, for the last 10 years, Canadian politics has been defined externally by chaos and bad actors, and internally by buffoonery... Canadians are happy to have a Prime Minister who speaks in full sentences and counts to ten without his fingers...,' said Bordman. Bordman views this development as a positive step towards counter-radicalization in Canada. He criticisesed the current liberal government's approach, suggesting that economic interests should take precedence over supporting groups that undermine nation-states. 'The major sticking point that Canada and India had is the Khalistan movement and the support of outright terrorism and balkanisation in the country... No one wants India to go through internal separation again, but there is a push outside of India to undermine it, mostly funded by Pakistan. All the groups who want to destroy India are the same who want to destroy Israel and America -- they undermine the concept of a nation-state... Canada has become a hub of all these bad actors...,' said Bordman. Bordman views PM Modi's visit as a turning point in Canada's approach to the Khalistan issue. He said that by engaging with India, Canada is distancing itself from its previous permissive stance towards terrorists and separatists. 'By inviting PM Modi, it is a pretty hard shift for Mark Carney to distance the liberal brand from the permissive of terrorists and separatists... This is a good first step to counter-radicalisation... We are at the maximum Khalistani nonsense in Canada, with a liberal close inner circle in the cabinet, propped up by Jagmeet Singh's NDP... The biggest Khalistani power display is in Surrey right now... The Khalistani menace seems to be toned down because Mark Carney is an economist... There is more money in trade with India, a real country with billions of people, than there is with a Pakistani proxy, propped up by China, who run around and run drugs for the country... We have everything India needs, and India has a huge consumer base...,' added the Canadian journalist. Bordman highlighted the economic costs of not addressing the Khalistan issue, citing the potential harm to Canada's credibility and trade relationships with other countries, including India. He noted that India is a significant market with a huge consumer base, making it an attractive trade partner. Further elaborating on the implications of the visit, Bordman said, '... The crackdown on Khalistan and trade with India are linked. Canada's trade with every other country is linked to the same thing. Suppose you have a transnational criminal organisation in your ports and running logistics in your country, like the Khalistanis run drugs through the truck industry. In that case, it poses a real problem economically and trade-wise... If Canada wants to be a player on the world stage, we need to do something about Khalistan because these people are significantly harming Canada in the social fabric and also have a huge economic cost... Their involvement in our system will reduce our credibility in countries that want to trade with us...' PM Modi's visit to Canada comes after a period of friction between New Delhi and Ottawa, triggered by Canadian allegations that Indian agents were involved in the killing of NIA-designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a gurdwara in Canada in 2023. India had strongly rejected the allegations. The diplomatic standoff escalated as both countries expelled senior diplomats in a tit-for-tat response. New Delhi has consistently voiced concerns about extremism and anti-India activities on Canadian soil and urged Canadian authorities to take concrete steps to curb such elements. This visit is part of PM Modi's three-nation official tour, which began with Cyprus and will conclude with Croatia. The G7 Summit, which PM Modi is set to attend on June 16-17, is an annual gathering of leaders from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada, and the European Union (EU). This marks PM Modi's sixth consecutive participation in the G7 Summit. (ANI)

Indian diaspora hails PM Modi's visit as beginning of a new chapter in Canada-India relations
Calgary [Canada], June 17 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi's brief visit to Canada has sparked excitement and optimism among the Indian diaspora in Calgary and Alberta, who hope the trip marks the beginning of a stronger partnership between India and Canada. Nidhi Lodha, a member of the Indian diaspora, shared her delight and said the community was thrilled about the visit. 'Indian diaspora in Calgary and Alberta is so happy that PM Narendra Modi is visiting us. The only caviar is that it is a last-minute short visit, so we could not organise a town hall where lots of people could meet him. His visit will start a new era of the Canada-India relationship and partnership, which will grow... With the change of government and stance in Ottawa, and the current reality that Canada needs to diversify economically, this relationship will improve...' Supporting her view, Sunny Sharma, a businessman and diaspora member, pointed to the broader global context of the visit. He said, '... PM Modi is coming here at the request of Mark Carney. In other words, the G7 needs India... Carney knows how to do business and not just politics...' Adding further perspective, Anil Mehrotra, another member of the diaspora, welcomed the invitation extended to the Indian Prime Minister despite recent tensions between the two countries. He said, '... I am very happy that he (PM Modi) is visiting Canada and our current Prime Minister had the courage, despite all the negative pressure on him, to invite Modi Ji. He has done a superb job in India, which is now the fourth-largest economy in the world. It would be a grave mistake for Canada not to have invited India. This visit will hopefully only strengthen the good relations we had, which have soured in the last 3-4 years...' Meanwhile, as world leaders gather in Alberta for the G7 Summit, the visit is also being viewed as a chance to reset diplomatic ties. Rishi Singh, Honorary Director of the Kendriya Likhari Sabha (North America), stressed the summit's importance in rekindling the Canada-India relationship. In an exclusive interview, Singh praised the Canadian leadership under Prime Minister Mark Carney for hosting the summit during the vibrant Canadian spring. 'All the G7 leaders will be present and will be discussing vital economic trends and other global issues that significantly impact the world scenario,' he said. He listed the prominent global figures attending this year's summit, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. While the UAE President could not attend, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and World Bank President Ajay Banga are also participating. As a Canadian of South Asian heritage, Singh underscored that this summit provides a crucial opportunity for both countries to deepen cooperation. 'This G7 Summit gives both nations a platform to hold bilateral talks and create new thrusts towards diversifying supply chains -- an issue also highlighted by Prime Minister Carney,' he said. Calling for enhanced collaboration, Singh highlighted areas like technology transfer, innovation, agriculture, mobility of skilled workers, and investment. 'India, with its youthful demographic and rapidly growing economy, presents a major opportunity for Canada. In turn, Canada must share its technological advancements to build long-term relations that extend beyond current leaderships,' he said. Singh envisioned a strong future built on mutual economic strength and shared values. He described this desired bond as an 'ethical-economical friendship' that would benefit both nations. 'As we move into an era where resilient supply chains and collaborative innovation are key to global stability, Canada and India must come together not just as trade partners, but as allies with shared values and forward-looking visions,' Singh concluded. 'I sincerely welcome Prime Minister Modi to Canada and hope this summit serves as a turning point in Indo-Canadian relations.' The G7 Summit is expected to produce new initiatives focusing on economic cooperation, climate action, technological growth, and geopolitical stability, with India-Canada relations emerging as a central point of interest.

London [UK], June 17 (ANI): A memorial ceremony was held by the Indian High Commission in London to honour victims of the Air India AI171 crash. Dignitaries including India's Ambassador Vikram Doraiswami and UK Deputy PM Angela Rayner joined diaspora members to pay tribute. India's Ambassador to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, Canadian High Commissioner to the UK, Ralph Goodale, serving and former MPs, and members of the Indian diaspora gathered to pay tribute to the departed souls. Joining in the remembrance, UK Member of Parliament Bob Blackman also attended a special prayer service at the Haridham congregation with worshippers of the Yogi Divine Society, offering prayers for the victims of the tragic crash. 'I joined the congregation of Haridham with worshippers of Yogi Divine Society to offer prayers for the victims, their friends & families of the dreadful Ahmedabad Plane Crash. We mourn the loss of so many lives, including relatives of the congregation of this Mandir. Om Shanti,' Blackman posted on X. His message comes in the aftermath of the tragic crash involving a London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, which slammed into a hostel complex shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on June 12. The accident killed 241 people on board, including former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani. A UK-based expert who reached the crash site to conduct an inspection told media present at the scene, 'Maybe we will be able to speak later... We saw what you guys can see... It's just the same, as you can see from here.' As rescue teams and authorities continued identification efforts, officials assured that each body would be returned to families with full respect and dignity. The aircraft was carrying 242 individuals, comprising 230 passengers and 12 crew members. Only one person, Vishwashkumar Ramesh -- a British national of Indian origin -- survived the crash and is currently undergoing treatment for his injuries. In addition to those on board, at least 33 others, including local residents and MBBS students living in the hostel, also lost their lives as the plane collided with the building on impact. (ANI)
