In the wake of the India-Canada diplomatic crisis, Canadian National Security Expert Joe Adam George highlighted a troubling rise in fake asylum claims. In the first eight months of 2024 alone, Canada recorded 13,000 international students seeking asylum, with a significant number reportedly from Punjab, India. Many claim persecution for supporting the Khalistan movement, a narrative George suggests may not reflect the truth. He argues that this influx indicates an abuse of Canada's asylum and immigration system, prompting the Canadian government to recognize and respond to the issue, albeit belatedly. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges within Canada’s immigration policies, particularly amid geopolitical tensions. As the government moves to address these concerns, the integrity of its asylum process hangs in the balance.

Amid the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, a previous statement by External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has resurfaced online. During a press conference on June 8, 2023, he addressed reports of celebrations in Canada marking the assassination of former PM Indira Gandhi. Dr. Jaishankar expressed confusion over why such actions occur, suggesting they stem from vote bank politics rather than genuine sentiment. He emphasized the concerning trend of allowing separatists and extremists to gain a platform, stating that this undermines relations and is detrimental to Canada. Additionally, he responded to comments from Canada's National Security Advisor regarding alleged Indian interference in domestic politics, referencing the proverb "Ulta chor kotwal ko daante," implying that those accusing India might themselves be engaging in questionable practices. Dr. Jaishankar's remarks highlight the complexity and sensitivity of the evolving diplomatic landscape between the two nations.

India and Canada are facing serious tensions following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claims about India’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Nijjar, a Sikh leader and alleged terrorist, in Canada. Trudeau described the situation as a matter of investigation, suggesting that some Indian diplomats are “persons of interest.” The Indian government has strongly denied these allegations, calling them politically motivated and aimed at gaining support within Canada. Since making these claims, Canada has not provided any evidence to back them up, which India labels as "absurd" and "baseless." As the situation escalates, Trudeau has sought support from the UK Prime Minister, but the relationship between the two countries remains strained, with both sides exchanging accusations and standing firm on their positions.
