Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, India’s Foreign Minister, who repeatedly got involved with Canada, said last year that many countries were nervous after the re-election of US President Donald Trump.
But he said India was “none of them”.
This week, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Trump will visit the White House after he was recently visited by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu – a close friend of Modi.
The discussions already held between Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio give a strong indication of what is on the agenda.
The United States wants India to buy more American weapons (India has always been a loyal customer of the Russian scaffolding industry). It also wants to talk about immigration and deportations with India, which hopes to get the H-1b visa and others who open the door for IT employees of the Indian IT workers.
It will also certainly speak of commercial and commercial barriers.
But what would not happen with quite a certain certainty is what happened in the G20 in New Delhi in September 2023 when President Joe Biden at the time spoke to Modi about the alleged actions of the Indian government to kill his enemies in North America.
Case Guy accepted
It was the US government that made Canada available with some of the critical information that made it possible for him to confidently accuse the Indian government for the activities of the HIT squad).
When India denied this allegations, the US government that took over Canada’s team and asked India to work with Canadian investigators.
It was also the US government that complained about a conspiracy on her own floor in Neu-Delhi and aimed at the US Canadian citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who lives in New York City.
This claim and not Canada’s allegations about Nijjar have prompted India to recognize that his own civil servants were actually involved in the crimes of crimes in North America – albeit with the unplausible claim that they acted as rogue agents.
But this pressure now seems to be disappearing, whereby Washington is apparently willing to accept a fairly transparent trick that an Indian official – the alleged villain agent Vikas “Vikas” Yadav, blame.
Yadav was charged by the US authorities last October because of his alleged role in the Pannun conspiracy in the absence and remains a searched man.
The maneuvering between the USA and India around Yadav’s case has a certain similarity to the dance that Washington with Saudi Arabia after the murder of Saudi dissidents and the correspondent of the Washington Post Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Although the CIA reported that the murder was carried out on the direction of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the US government finally agreed to an official version that fault and punished in the Saudi secret services.
Reluctant scapegoat
But if the plan is supposed to do something similar to make the Pannun problem disappear, the designated autumnman – in contrast to his Saudi colleagues – can be ready to resist the role.
Reports in Indian media indicate that he has done his home village hard and has the support of his home village, where he is seen as a patriot and local hero and where some “revolt” have threatened when it tried to lock him up.
“There is certainly pressure to have a certain accountability,” said political scientist Sanjay Ruparelia. “Mr. Yadav seems to have been accused and has been released and arrested. There are various reports about whether he is free or not.”
After specifying Yadav, it was assumed in India that the United States would look for its delivery. But at least that doesn’t seem to have happened publicly.
“It is unclear whether the US printing India, to react to it,” said Ruparelia, “or whether other arrests take place.”
No more help from Washington
However, what seems clear is that the United States has put much less pressure under pressure to put the attacks under Trump under pressure than among bidges, including the murder property, which aimed at a US citizen on US floor.
“I think it has to be worrying for us in Canada in this regard,” said Ruparelia. “This is not an administration that is committed to the rule of law for the rule of law, and given whom President Trump pardoned, since he was appointed very high -ranking positions in his administration, I think this is a problem. “
Among these candidates are Tulsi Gabbard, who was named director of National Intelligence (DNI) by Trump, and Kash Patel, Trump’s proposed FBI director.
Both have a history of support and sympathy with the guiding principle of the Hindutva modes.
In her opening speech at her hearing of the confirmation, Gabard argued that she was not a “Marionette von Modi”.
Gabard was appointed chairman of the Hindu Congress in the world, an international organization that was connected to the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), even though she later asked to be released from this role.
Modi is a lifelong member of the RSS, a paramilitary cousin in his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In 2013, Gabard, a Member of the Congress from Hawaii, refused to do a house solution that condemned RSS violence against Muslim and Christian minorities in India. The Federation of the Indian -American Christian organizations leaned its nomination to DNI as “very dangerous” and “used for the Henhaus”.
The FBI selection defends the RAM temple
Patel publicly supported the construction of a controversial Hindu temple in the city of Ayodhya.
The temple was the product of a durable dispute between Hindus and Muslims over one of the two holy place. The sectarian campaign of the 90s of Hindu nationalists, including modes, was the formative event that led to his BJP.
At the climax of the campaign in 1992, a Hindu mob destroyed the 470-year-old mosque, and at least 2,000 people were killed in the event of turmoil. Fresh uprisings about the Ayodhya dispute in 2002 killed over 1,000 other and modes, the then governor of the province of Gujarat, was accused of addressing the rioters. The case hung over his head for 10 years before it was released by the Supreme Court of India.
Last year, modes supervised the consecration of a new state-funded Hindu temple on the premises and marked the occasion with confirmation of his Hindus-first ideology: “RAM is the faith of India, RAM is the basis of India, RAM is that of India’s idea , RAM is the law of India … RAM is the leader and RAM is politics.
Patel supported modes and argued: “There was a Hindu temple there for one of the typical gods in the Hindu pantheon in 1500, which was overthrown, and they try to get it back for 500 years.”
He accused “The Washington establishment” of a disinformation campaign that is harmful to India and the position of the Prime Minister.
Modi-Maga relationship is wide
Canadian intelligence experts and former officials have warned that the candidates endanger the cooperation between the United States and their former allies.
These concerns focused more on gibard’s connections to Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Syria’s Bashar Assad and Patel’s speech to pursue political enemies than on the relationship with India.
However, the former CSIS director Ward Elcock says that there is a convergence of interests and ideology between Modis Hindutva and Trump’s Maga and indeed under the right populist movements around the world.
“I think that we can probably assume that the Americans have a difficult border with the Indian government in the near future,” he told CBC News.
According to Elcock, the affinity of the mode government is not limited to certain civil servants such as Gabard and Patel, but a common characteristic of populist governments around the world and is shared by many right into Canada.
Trump himself spoke of his preference for modes and even seemed to express sympathy and admiration for Modis alleged willingness to aim and kill the enemies of his government in overseas.
On the podcast FlagrantTrump said about Modi: “He is great, he is a friend of mine. … On the outside he looks like your father, he is the nicest guy, but he is a total murderer.”
Trump remembered the interaction with modes on “”Howdy modes“Diaspora Rally in Houston in 2019.
“He is the most beautiful person, but we had a few opportunities when someone threatened India,” Trump recalled, and said he offered to deal with modes with these threats.
Trump then imitated an Indian accent and quoted Modi’s reaction: “I will do it, I will do it, I will do everything necessary.”
