India - arrests and allegations of extrajudicial killings

  • サマリー

  • This week I’m paying attention to what I’m seeing in articles written for readers in India.
    Headlines such as “India slams Canada as diplomatic tensions rise” and “It's Canada's compulsion to blame India” are greeting readers in recent days.

    And if you’re asking how come, here’s why. Police in British Columbia have just arrested four Indian nationals in connection with the murder of a Sikh leader last June. That’s when gunmen opened fire on Hardeep Singh Nijar in his pick-up truck. Nijar lived in Canada, but he was a leader in the movement to create an independent state for Sikhs, called Khalistan.
    But you should know that the Indian government is very much against this separatist movement.
    Nijar, and many others from the pro-Khalistan movement are considered extremists and terrorists by the Indian government.

    So…why is Canada grabbing negative headlines in India?
    Because our prime minister is saying Nijar was murdered on orders from the Indian government. That’s called an extrajudicial assassination, and if it’s true, it’s a big violation of international law.

    On this episode, we'll look at what’s behind the reporting, with guest Aadil Naik, who is just back from India after visiting his family in Mumbai.
