However, there is still a lot that could spoil India-Canada relations. Canada is preparing to impose sanctions on India. In this regard, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said that everything depends on the negotiating table.
Here are 5 ways India can surprise Canada
1. At present, about one and a quarter million Indian students are studying in Canada. If India stops these students from studying in Canada, it will definitely have a bad impact on the Canadian economy because Canada receives billions of rupees in fees from Indian students every year. Year.
2. India can cancel the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card of citizens of Indian origin sympathizing with Khalistan supporters. If this happens, then such citizens of Indian origin may have to think twice about their decision of sympathizing with Khalistanis.
3. One step that India can take against Khalistan and supporters of Khalistanis is to suspend its property rights. Apart from this, there is delay in issuing visas to such people or starting investigation against them.
4. If India wishes, it can ban multiple-entry visas for suspected Pakistani supporters of Indian origin living in Canada, which may create unrest in the Canadian-Indian community, which may affect Canadian politics.
5. Apart from this, India can also adopt a similar stance. Canada is considering imposing trade restrictions. India can also do this and if this happens then Canada will have to suffer more losses. This is because Canada is India's top-10 trading partner. Canada's economy is more dependent on India.
Why did India-Canada relations deteriorate?
The whole matter is related to the murder of Khalistan supporter Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar has been declared a terrorist by India, even though he was a citizen of Canada. On June 18 last year, he was shot dead near a Gurudwara in Surrey, British Columbia. On September 18 last year, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had accused Indian agents of being involved in Nijjar's murder.
However, India has always rejected these baseless claims of Canada. On Monday, Canadian police took advantage of their position to seek information from Indian diplomatic and consular officials, either directly or through agents. This means that Canada directly interrogated Indian diplomats. Trudeau later repeated the allegations at a press conference.
The Indian Foreign Ministry rejected this and made it clear that Trudeau was doing this for vote bank politics. After these allegations by Canada, India also recalled its High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma. India has made it clear that it no longer has confidence in the current government of Canada.
