Recently a new face of extremism has emerged in Canada. The increasing unrest in the country, the immunity given to Khalistani terrorists and the interference of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI have now raised serious questions on the security of Canada. Justin Trudeau’s controversial policies as Prime Minister and his soft attitude towards Khalistani supporters are now becoming a big challenge for the entire country.
Khalistani love gave new ground to fundamentalism
Justin Trudeau adopted a lenient attitude towards Khalistanis to save his political position. This step proved suicidal for him. Due to deteriorating relations with India and giving support to Khalistani terrorists, he not only tarnished his image at the international level but also created an atmosphere of instability within his own country.
This exemption given to Khalistanis was not limited to just one community. Now this has also given other terrorist organizations an opportunity to establish a foothold in Canada. Pakistani intelligence agency ISI has taken advantage of this situation and made Canada a new base to carry forward its radical agenda.
Hizb ut-Tahrir: the emerging threat
An organization named Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which recently emerged in Canada, which is part of a radical Islamic movement, is now openly expressing its intentions. A big public event is being organized by this organization in Mississauga.
Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is said to be behind this event. This is the same agency which is known for promoting terrorism for decades.
Questions on Canada’s policies
Why an organization like Hizb-ut-Tahrir was given immunity in Canada is becoming a big question. Many countries of the world—such as the United Kingdom and Germany—have declared this organization a terrorist. Despite this, it is working openly in Canada.
This group works in a very planned manner. To hide its identity, it sometimes registers its presence under different names and sometimes through cultural events. These programs are becoming platforms to recruit terrorists and spread ideology.
Impact of Justin Trudeau’s policies
Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s love for Khalistan has not only harmed India-Canada relations but also had a serious impact on the internal security of the country. The immunity given to Khalistanis in Canada also encouraged other terrorist organizations.
Experts believe that Trudeau did all this for political gain. But its ill effects are now falling on the general public of Canada. Not only has Khalistani terrorism expanded in the country, but now the threat of radical Islamic terrorism has also increased.
Pakistan’s interference and increasing terrorism
Terrorist activities have increased in Canada due to the interference of ISI. Pakistani agency has strengthened its hold in Canada through Khalistanis. Now, under this new strategy, it is also giving opportunity to radical Islamic organizations to flourish in Canada.
What can happen in the coming days?
Analysts say that if the Canadian government still does not take drastic steps, the situation may worsen due to the nexus of Khalistani and Islamic fundamentalism in the country.
The Canadian public is now realizing that Justin Trudeau’s policies are not limited to politics alone. They have impacted the security and stability of the entire country.
What will the new leaders do?
After the resignation of Justin Trudeau, a new government is expected in Canada. The biggest challenge before the new leadership will be to save the country from this new threat of terrorism. This will require international cooperation and strict policies.
International pressure and America’s role
America’s new President Donald Trump has expressed his concern over the situation in Canada. He has made it clear that America will not tolerate any country that promotes terrorism.
Due to international pressure, Canada will now have to change its policies. Cooperating with India and the US to control terrorism would be an essential step.
