Indian politician claims that Nijjar was gay and that Trudeau liked him - lemm.ee

Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national secretary Tejinder Pall Singh Bagga on Monday made a sensational claim, saying killed Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gay and that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to like him. His statement comes amid a diplomatic standoff between India and Canada that ensued after Trudeau alleged the Indian government was involved in Nijjar’s killing. India has asked Canada to provide proof to back the allegations but none have come yet.

This leads me to assume that India really did have the guy assassinated.

And009 Oct 3, 2023

Fair chance it’s true, irrespective of why Canada is risking their trade and global relationship. They probably wouldn’t accuse without intelligence.

Grimpen Oct 3, 2023

My understanding is that a reporter was going to break the story. The evidence wasn’t just from Canadian intelligence either.

catfish Oct 3, 2023

Yes I saw an interview with a Canadian official where he clarifies that they had to get in front of it

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to like him

are they 11 years old?

lustyargonian Oct 2, 2023

Yup. Try checking shitbjpsays subreddit someday.

Endorkend Oct 3, 2023

After the self inflicted Reddit apocalypse hit, /r/all was suddenly full of shit subs, among which all the "am I ugly" attention whore ones and several Indian ones.

And I have to say, those subs do not give me a particularly positive view of the Indian people.

enkers Oct 3, 2023

Isn’t that kinda like basing your opinion of Americans off of r/conservative?

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 3, 2023

yeah and it seems far more complex than U.S. politics, with 3 times as many in population, but i’m just an american

lustyargonian Oct 3, 2023

Yeah that may be true, but this is an old subreddit with basically news articles about BJP (ruling party lead by Modi) spokespersons saying dumb things in public.

fosforus Oct 3, 2023

He is.

kraftpudding Oct 3, 2023

We had ro kill him, he gave the president cooties

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 4, 2023

who gave that guy cookies wtf is he even related to the queen wtf

Mongostein Oct 2, 2023

Ok I’m a little behind on this story. Why did Trudeau say India was involved?

And what the fuck, India? Grow up.

seathru Oct 2, 2023

Trudeau said on Monday Canada had credible information linking Indian government agents to the murder. Trudeau did not directly accuse India of definitely being involved and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly later used more cautious language, saying “if proven true” the allegations would be unacceptable.

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 3, 2023

this story is still developing, but only badly. so far, it is not clear, but some part of India was probably involved, not sure it implicates the PM Modi or his underlings.

but yeah, Modi looks like a murderous tyrant, history is stacking up against him

And009 Oct 3, 2023

Proven tyrant. Lots of documentaries around his shady past.

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 3, 2023

i’m not an expert on india, so I won’t try. sounds like a place to not brandish weapons. are you in organized crime or getting the government and the people better or do you just want chaos?

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 3, 2023

i REALLY love how this is mutated information and lies. see ya

UraniumBlazer Oct 3, 2023

Uhuh… The BBC recently released a documentary about this very shady past (specifically about the Gujarat riots, where he was accused of ethnic cleansing against Muslims). Guess what… This documentary was immediately banned country wide by the Indian government and designated as “foreign propaganda”.

InverseParallax Oct 3, 2023

Well he is a genocidal tyrant, murderous would be an upgrade.

Kbin_space_program Oct 3, 2023

The US has admitted that the five eyes intelligence sharing played a part.

Canada is claiming to have Indian government communiques and signal intelligence backing them up.

bh11235 Oct 3, 2023

Propaganda is not there to make you agree with it, it is there to tell you that you are powerless against it

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 4, 2023

that’s interesting. i’d wager propaganda only works that way when it’s winning. but that’s difficult to gauge these days. propaganda is more segmented and social media is more “federated”. hell, trump’s social bs exists via mastodon.

sorebuttfromsitting Oct 4, 2023

yeah, i wrote that, but i’m a fan of exiting propaganda

Bri Guy Oct 3, 2023

Lol wtf is going on these days 😂😂😂

awwwyissss Oct 3, 2023

Democracy failing in India.

And009 Oct 3, 2023

Chapter 23

boredtortoise Oct 3, 2023

Have they even tried democracy for it to fail

burningmatches Oct 3, 2023

India is the world’s biggest democracy. It’s the birthplace of four major religions, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism, and has one of the world’s largest populations of Muslims. It has 23 official languages.

The fact that it’s even still a country is a miracle of democracy (and cricket).

boredtortoise Oct 3, 2023

Could be. I don’t know. Different democracy indices set it even below the fake democracy in the US 🤷

burningmatches Oct 3, 2023

The Economist ranks it on par with Poland, which is a member of the EU.

The downgrading of India’s democracy is basically related to the rise of Hindu nationalism, especially under Modi, and the suppression of freedoms of speech and religion. These are serious and concerning issues, to be sure, but like I mentioned, India is a diverse country and the fact that these tensions have been kept in check for so long is the real surprise. Even Sweden is buckling under the pressure of a (relatively) tiny influx of racial/religious diversity.

boredtortoise Oct 3, 2023

Yeah… Poland is usually classified as deficient in democracy or sometimes even a hybrid regime. It’s not a good direction in many places. I really hope better for the people in India and everywhere else.

IIRC a lot of Sweden’s issues stem from city level zoning creating segregation by social class. Thus migration with lesser opportunities than natives to move between classes, end up in areas with people who’ve already been abandoned by the system.

He gets at least one thing so wrong I have to question the reliability of the entire thing.

Nijjar has been a landed Canadian immigrants since 1997, not 2007, and its important to nore that he got that status via marriage after being denied refugee status.

2006 was the first time India claimed him to be some kind of terrorist mastermind.

PilferJynx Oct 3, 2023

Thanks. This topic seems complicated and that there is no moral winner. India cannot assassinate foreign citizens. At the same time, creating a hostile Sikh movement using Canada as a shield should not be tolerated either. We need better anti-extremist programs for every race, culture, and religious groups. I’m just so tired of hate.

Always a relevant Simpsons quote
