She wasn’t interested in discussing India’s concern. Said multiple times I’ll come back to India’s concern but she never did. That’s the main issue here.

[@user-vs7iq3pn2u]

That's Canada as a whole. Their problems should be India's problem but the vice versa is not a topic of discussion.

[@TheGreatVivek7]

She is a Canadian, of course she won’t.

The question of ‘hard to believe that Canadian security adviser did not provide any information’ should be directed to Canada

[@thomashunter5645]

Canadian RCMP was not able to complete the investigation and file charges in the Canadian court. They completely botched the investigation. Now, the Canadian government is asking Indian government to complete the job of incompetent RCMP?

[@nigelfantini2076]

The Americans arrested an Indian government employee that set up a murder for hire in New York. He set up 3 murders in Canada which 2 were carried out. The Yanks have evidence.

[@razorburn645]

Uh... the Americans just caught someone trying to arrange another assassination on behalf of India. He's being held in the Czech Republic waiting extradition.

I'm a Canadian and you guys being journalists what do you not understand? Vienna convention says that here India can decide how many Canadian diplomats should be in India. India told to have parity and Canada did not do anything for 2 weeks! So India was taking diplomatic immunity out. There is NOTHING ILLEGAL that India did. Also you didn't address threat that this very diplomat face in Canada. There are posters in Surrey and Brampton calling for ASSASSINATION of Indian diplomat. What about it? Has Canada done anything and COOPERATED?

If there were allegations then they should have been discussed behind close door diplomatically.

[@ravibanga4563]

Queensland (Australia) Police have released documents regarding investigations into graffiti on Mandirs (Hindu temples) “may have been done by Hindus themselves”. The documents were this week released to community sevadaar (selfless servant) Bhabishan Singh Goraya who was pursuing insight into the investigations, due to the fact the crimes were widely being linked with Australia’s Sikh community. Many, including ABC News who subsequently apologised for it, blamed Sikhs for the vandalism.
