India has told Canada that it must repatriate 41 diplomats by October 10, according to The Financial Times newspaper.
Ties between India and Canada have become strained over Canadian suspicion that Indian government agents had a role in the June murder in British Columbia of a Sikh separatist leader and Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who India had labelled a “terrorist” because of his advocacy for Khalistan, an independent Sikh state.
India has dismissed the murder allegation as absurd.
The Financial Times, quoting people familiar with the Indian demand, reported on Tuesday that India had threatened to revoke the diplomatic immunity of those diplomats told to leave if they remained after October 10.
No one “needs” India…
Their plan is to become the world’s new sweatshop instead of China. And shipping all that junk overseas costs a lot of money and pollution while taking jobs away from the countries that buy it.
Maybe if they’d already replaced China that would be a short term issue, but they haven’t so it’s not.
They’re of no use from the other side of trade, there’s not many wealthy enough to buy goods from Asia or the West.
India could go completely isolationist and the only ones it would really affect are people who live in India.
I’m hoping the West has learned that maybe exporting all of our production capabilities to a foreign country isn’t actually a good idea.
As long as it is cheaper, businesses will continue doing so.
