India Canada Diplomatic Clash LIVE: Canada's Accusations Against India Strain Anglophone Solidarity
In a developing diplomatic clash, Anglophone solidarity faces strain due to Canada's allegations against India, challenging burgeoning strategic ties. The Biden administration voiced support for Ottawa's claim regarding India's involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist militant in Canada. The White House emphasized that such actions would not receive special exemption. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan expressed concern, promising unwavering defense of basic principles regardless of the country involved. He pledged close consultation with allies like Canada throughout their law enforcement and diplomatic processes. Sullivan criticized certain sections of the US media for potentially creating divisions between the United States and Canada. He highlighted deep concerns about the allegations and advocated for a thorough investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable. Washington intends to engage with Indian officials at high levels regarding this matter. Canada's claims of Indian involvement relied on intelligence from an unnamed ally within the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, comprising the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. This alliance shares information acquired through signals intelligence, human intelligence, and geospatial intelligence. The intensifying situation has raised concerns in India about potential espionage against its diplomats and implications based on leaks. Canada's Liberal government faces pressure from Conservative opposition to substantiate its allegations with evidence, which New Delhi insists has not been shared. Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of the Quad group, consisting of the US, India, Australia, and Japan, met at the UN and called on all countries to uphold the principles of the UN Charter, including refraining from threats or use of force against any state's territorial integrity or political independence. #indiacanadaconflict #india #canada #indiacanadaconflict #latestnews #topnewstoday #bjp Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: / timesofindia Instagram: / timesofindia Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: / timesofindiaplus Twitter: / toiplus Instagram: / toi_plus
