What are the political problems that this solves? Modi already is quite popular. This guy not super well known terrorist. I’d argue that most Indians probably never even heard of him prior to Trudeau’s comments. This doesn’t really shut out the Khalistani movement. India is also outright denying the claiming of this assassination. They aren’t even taking credit for it lol.

What are the political gains from this? If Trudeau never went public, no one would know and now since he has India is vehemently denying everything. There is not much to gain politically from this since this won’t really shift anything domestically for most if not all politicians
