International News:While Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Canada was a solid step towards global diplomacy, some radical elements tried to wander the journey. But this time the attitude changed – the large Sikh class of Kanada openly looked different from these activities. PM Modi’s visit extended to Cyprus, Croatia and Canada, in which his aim was to strengthen bilateral cooperation and global trade. Economic and technical partnership was an important issue in the proposed conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. But in this important period, some selected protesters tried to protest.
The performance at Alberta and Calgary, Canada attempted insulting the tricolor. But this time it was not a noise against the dignity of democracy, not opposing India. Independent Canadian independent journalists themselves criticized the radical strategy of these protesters, and "Trying to spread political confusion" told.
From Patna Sahib Takht to several Gurdwaras of Vancouver, Sikh leaders made it clear that they do not want to include children and religious identity in a staunch agenda. He said that those who talk about dividing India do not understand the Sikh tradition and the spirit of Guru Sahibans.
These gurudwaras also cautioned their community not to be a part of any emotional provocation. Pravasi Sikh leaders also said that protecting religion does not mean treason. This mature attitude suggests that the real soul of the Sikh creed is associated with the unity and universality of India.
When some fundamentalists threatened and attacked the journalists doing coverage, this question was not only of security – but there was a challenge on the freedom of the press. Many institutions in Canada condemned these attacks and agreed to the Modi government that such elements are enemies of democracy. These incidents have hurt the dignity of the profession of journalism and it has become a matter of concern globally. Media organizations have demanded that immediate action should be taken against such attackers. This proves that the attack on the freedom of the press is a serious threat to any democracy.
Mark Carney’s government is now moving strictly on such extremist organizations. In the conversation with the Modi government, there is also talk of formulating a joint strategy on the increasing activities of Khalistan supporters. Canada’s new policy is now taking an important turn towards trust with India. This change is not only important for India-Canada relations, but is also an example against extremism on the world stage. The Ottawa administration has made it clear that its land will no longer be allowed to be used for anti -India agenda. In the coming time, the joint campaign and monitoring mechanisms can be further strengthened.
India has always advocated democratic values, but now it has made it clear that the integrity of India will not be tolerated in any country in the name of freedom of expression. It was a clear message of Modi’s visit that India is now adamant about dialogue as well as safety of sovereignty. This message was not just against the Khalistani agenda, but a warning to the global community that it would now be expensive to challenge India’s borders and sovereign rights. The Ministry of External Affairs has also said that it is not a debate within India, but a matter of external intervention. Now on every stage, India will put its disagreement in open words.
