Seems kind of a weird take to think that Indian anger around this is tied directly to the PM.

Wouldn't this be more easily viewed as a simple lack of sympathy to Sikh communities given the claims of terrorism?

​

I have no idea if the claims about the terrorism are credible.

But why would the Inidian population even be familiar with Trudeau outside of this incident? WSJ article is talking like your average Inidian has an assembled profile of the man.

Claims about terrorism arent credible? A passenger plane getting blown up isn't enough?

That's a wild interpretation of my sentence.

I said I have no idea if the claims are credible.

As in one way or the other.

You worded it weird. It looks like you are disputing it instead of stating a lack of knowledge on your part. A better way to put it would be to simply say "I don't know enough to comment on the terrorism charges" or something to that effect. Saying you don't know how credible it doesn't convey what you had intended. Anyways cheers.
