PM says India may realize now that ‘they can’t bluster their way through this’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he believes India’s relations with Canada may have undergone “a tonal shift” in the days since the unsealing of a U.S. indictment alleging a conspiracy to murder a Sikh activist on American soil.

The prime minister made the remarks in an end-of-year interview with the CBC’s Rosemary Barton.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government reacted with scorn and flat denials when Trudeau stated publicly in the House of Commons on September 18 that there was credible intelligence linking India to the June 18 shooting death of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a temple in Surrey, B.C.

    New Zealand’s relationship with the French government is still overshadowed somewhat by the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, I imagine this will affect their relationship for years to come in a similar way. Especially if their government continues to deny their actions.
