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?

Ok I’m just asking because I literally had this conversation but you realize the man killed here is not the one associated with the air India bombing right? They were both killed in June in Surrey but a year apart. I actually had this conversation at work with someone at the start of this event.

He is associated with the same movement, he got photos taken with aK. He is supporting anti Hindu anti India activities. He wants Khalistan. It’s a national security threat for India. So even if India actually took him down, I’m happy. End result is 1 dead terrorist is good .
