  1. SS: Summary: Modi Not Invited to G-7 Summit Amid Strained India-Canada Ties

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not been invited to the upcoming G-7 summit hosted by Canada from June 15–17, marking the first time in six years that India will not participate. The decision, reportedly based on host prerogative, signals deteriorating diplomatic relations between India and Canada.

    Tensions have escalated since 2023, when then-Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accused Indian officials of involvement in the assassination of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil — an allegation India denied. Despite recent talks between Canadian and Indian foreign ministers, core issues remain unresolved, particularly around Sikh separatist activities in Canada.

    While India, poised to become the world’s fourth-largest economy, remains outside the G-7, leaders from other non-member countries such as Ukraine, Australia, and Mexico have been invited.

    The summit will focus on global economic stability, peace, and digital transformation.

  2. What does Canada even gain from choosing separatists over a legitimate government?

  3. Seems like Canada has chosen to side with terrorists and become terror-sponsoror.

    Good that Indian PM is not going there. Because I don’t think Canadian state can protect him there from any assassination attempt from Khalistani terrorists. They are openly showing posters calling for assassination of Indian diplomatic staff, External Affairs Minister, and Prime Minister. And Canadian government is protecting and encouraging such fringe elements in the name of freedom.

  4. Probably more because of the accusation of a Canadian citizen being killed by Indian intelligence, not so much because of “separatist sympathies”. Would any government, after accusing another of killing one of its citizens, invite said government to a summit? Forget about Canada or India for a second, leaving aside what the assassinated person was accused of doing and his separatist ideologies. This isn’t all that surprising at the end of the day.

  5. Looks like non-aligned diplomacy can also make every foreign power hostile to you.

  6. This is a very brain dead move from Canada’s end. You’re already in a rocky place with the US, Russia and China. Is a dead terrorist preacher worth having beef with India as well?

    I’m actually dissapointed in this. It seemed like last few months there was a move towards normalization and we hoped Carney wouldn’t play Trudeau’s bullshit game of using Khalistanis for votes but I guess not. Really big Canada L

  7. I am not even a supporter of the Modi government, they play a little too fast and loose for my comfort..

    But boy, the Westerners are sure sore losers. I mean, they literally topple governments all around the world with their covert services, yet when we allegedly hit a bunch of fanatics who were presumably given some kind of blind eye treatment, they gush all over.

    Last meeting of the club, Johnny, last meeting of the club. You chaps with your after you old boy didn’t make much of it did you?

    (That line is from Page Eight, the David Hare movie)

  8. Wasn’t expecting this tbh, and I wonder how much input the other 6 countries had on this, if any. I can’t imagine this was decided unilaterally without some form of discussion with the others.
