Canada-India relations deteriorate over killing

Canada-India relations have deteriorated over the killing of a Canadian man in India. The man, Ripudaman Singh Malik, was shot dead in India on July 14, 2022. Malik was accused of involvement in the 1985 Air India bombing, which killed 329 people. He was acquitted of all charges in 2005. The Canadian government has condemned the killing of Malik and called for a thorough investigation. The Indian government has said that it is investigating the killing, but has not provided any further information. The killing of Malik has come at a time when relations between Canada and India are already strained. In 2018, Canada blocked the extradition of a Sikh activist, Jaspal Atwal, to India. Atwal had been convicted of attempting to assassinate an Indian politician in 1986. The killing of Malik has also led to calls for a boycott of Indian products and services in Canada. Some Canadians have also called for the Canadian government to take stronger action against India, such as imposing sanctions. The deterioration of relations between Canada and India is a concern for both countries. Canada is a major source of trade and investment for India. India is also a growing destination for Canadian tourists. The two countries also have a close cultural relationship. It is important for Canada and India to resolve their differences and maintain a strong relationship. The two countries can work together on a number of important issues, such as trade, investment, security, and climate change. It is also important to note that there are a number of different perspectives on the killing of Malik. Some people believe that he was killed by Indian nationalists or by the Indian government. Others believe that he was killed by gangsters. The Indian government has said that it is investigating the killing and that it is too early to say who is responsible. It is important to respect the different perspectives on the killing of Malik and to avoid making generalizations about India or Canadians. It is also important to be aware of the potential for violence and discrimination in the wake of the killing.
