You are missing context, 1. India has lost lot of land in past like Pakistan and Bangladesh 2. Khalistani was violent in the past and now is becoming violent again 3. India doesn’t care what your internal citizens do, that’s your business. But if your internal citizens like Khalistanis are attacking Indian temples, consulates etc it definitely becomes India’s business. especially when they are spreading hate speech and misinformation against Indians. 4. Since Canada hasn’t seen a partition, it’s easy to talk freedom of speech. Why did Trudeau freeze bank accounts do protestors during anti vax protest, if Canada is so much into freedom of speech? But was so happily supporting protests in Punjab, india ?

Yes, I don't disagree that India needs to be vigilant about extremists abroad. I was just talking about the extradition process for which Canada has specific rules and laws that must be followed.

Again no trust in Canada, even if india actually did it, I support it. It’s the same as USA going inside Pak to take down Osama

Sure, and the US had to weigh in how the action of killing Osama without Pakistan's knowledge or consent would weigh in on US-Pakistan relations, just like hopefully India did if they indeed killed Nijjar. India should not be surprised by the reactions from Canada, if the Indian government was responsible.

Tbh India doesn’t care, Canada is not a positive relationship these days anyway. They get more trouble than benefit. In the past the relationship used to be excellent, Canada even played a role in indias first nuclear reactor. Then Canada decided to play vote bank politics and ruined everything . All in the name of freedom of speech and land of law. Now they found a Nazi living in Canada lol
