Since karma has no menu, New Delhi is getting a good old taste of what it deserved when it decided to violate fundamental norms of international law and orchestrate extrajudicial murders around the globe. The last whole months saw political heavyweights in the Modi administration treat a scathing report alleging India\u2019s involvement in assassinations within Pakistan as manna from heaven. Due to ongoing national elections, they boasted about an embarrassing foreign policy as a desperate trick to seek validation from voters.
\nThe centre line remained that PM Modi and his party did not believe in slowing down when it came to cross-border shenanigans. However, now that it is not Pakistan that\u2019s raising a ruckus against India\u2019s bout of violence without considering the legal implications but Canada, which has arrested three Indian citizens for the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in Vancouver last autumn, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar hurriedly lashes every possible buzzword.
\nWhat he frantically describes as \u201cpolitical compulsion\u201d is being heralded by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as \u201crule of law.\u201d With uneasy diplomatic ties and Canada determined to investigate any links between the suspects and the Indian government, the present situation is nothing short of a golden opportunity for Pakistan to make its case before the international community.
\nFor years, our own grievances have been falling on deaf ears due to the phenomenal clout India enjoys thanks to its thriving diaspora and tiger economy. Reports from prominent media houses in the US and Australia have not minced words in pointing fingers at the \u201cnest of Indian spies\u201d directly involved with murders or attempts to steal national secrets. This behaviour perfectly aligns with what our intelligence agencies have been saying for decades. While it may be hard to dent the blooming friendship between Modi and the US\u2019s Biden or Australia\u2019s Albanese, Canada does not appear to be in a forgiving mood. Unlike the rest, it does not wish to separate \u201cintelligence matters\u201d from the national discourse; something Pakistan could put to its advantage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
