India-Canada relations nose-dived soon after Canadian PM accused Indian govt of getting Nijjar killed.&nbsp;

Holding his own party-led government in Canada responsible for inaction against Khalistan extremists, Liberal party MP Chandra Arya on Sunday asserted that Hindu Canadians were fearful after threats issued by extremist elements.
Arya, who is a lawmaker from PM Justin Trudeau&rsquo;s party, has repeatedly raised the issue of threats to Hindu Canadians and urged the community to stay calm and vigilant.
Speaking to CBC News, Chandra Arya said, &ldquo;I am more worried about the consequence of what happened after the Prime Minister&rsquo;s (Trudeau) statement. The concerns of the safety of Hindu Canadians here, Hindu Canadians are fearful&rdquo;.
Arya's remarks came after Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and other extremist elements issued threats to the Hindu community in Canada, warning them to go back to India, amid the ongoing standoff between the two countries.

US provided Canada intelligence on Nijjar's killing: New York Times report

However, the allied officials said they did not learn about the plot or any evidence pointing to India's involvement in the case until Nijjar was killed, NYT reported.

The US provided Canada with intelligence after the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, but communications intercepted by Ottawa were more definitive and led it to accuse India of orchestrating the plot, The New York Times has reported citing sources.
'In the aftermath of the killing, US intelligence agencies offered their Canadian counterparts context that helped Canada conclude that India had been involved', NYT reported, quoting unnamed allied officials as saying.
The report came on September 23 as the top US diplomat in Canada confirmed that there was shared intelligence among Five Eyes partners that had prompted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's offensive allegation against India in the killing of a Khalistani extremist on Canadian soil.

India slams 'Habitual Offender' Pakistan at UN General Assembly 

India stressed that Pakistan has become a &ldquo;habitual offender&rdquo; when it comes to misusing the august forum of the United Nations to peddle &ldquo;baseless and malicious&rdquo; propaganda against India.

India has strongly hit out at Pakistan after its caretaker leader raked up Kashmir in his address to the UN General Assembly, with Delhi saying the &ldquo;home and patron&rdquo; to the largest number of proscribed terrorist entities in the world should take credible action against perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks instead of engaging in &ldquo;technical sophistry&rdquo;.
First Secretary in India&rsquo;s Permanent Mission to the UN Petal Gahlot exercised India&rsquo;s Right of Reply in the UNGA after Pakistan&rsquo;s caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar raised the Kashmir issue in his address at the General Debate during the high-level 78th session of UNGA on Friday.
&ldquo;Pakistan has been the home and patron to the largest number of internationally proscribed terrorist entities and individuals in the world. Instead of engaging in technical sophistry, we call upon Pakistan to take credible and verifiable action against the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks, whose victims await justice even after 15 years,&rdquo; Gahlot said in the scathing response.
She said Pakistan needs to take three-fold action for there to be peace in South Asia.
&ldquo;First, stop cross-border terrorism and shut down its infrastructure of terrorism immediately. Second, vacate Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation, and third, stop the grave and persistent human rights violations against the minorities in Pakistan.&rdquo; In his address earlier, Kakar said Pakistan desired peaceful and productive relations with all its neighbours, including India. "Kashmir is the key to peace between Pakistan and India," he said.
Gahlot reiterated that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral part of India.

Dossier details Nijjar’s role in supporting and financing terror activities against India: reports

Khalistani terrorist Nijjar was killed in June this year, and his killing led to a major diplomatic row between Delhi and Ottawa

Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose killing triggered a massive diplomatic row between India and Canada, played an active role in training, financing and operationalising his outfit and individuals on Canadian soil, says a dossier prepared by Indian intelligence agencies.

He funded terror activities in Punjab and other parts of India, the dossier states as per media reports.&nbsp;

Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose killing in June is at the centre of a major diplomatic row between India and Canada&nbsp;was called a human rights activist by Sikh organisations and a criminal by India&rsquo;s Government.

The killing of Indian-born Canadian Khalistani separatist leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar has ignited a major diplomatic row between Delhi and Ottawa
Nijjar who was gunned down in Surrey on 18th June 2023 had entered Canada on a fake passport in 1996 as per India's dossier on him.
In 2014, a Red Corner notice was issued against Nijjar, and Indian intelligence agencies informed Canada about his involvement in over a dozen murder cases and other terrorist activities in India.
However, Canada took no significant action against him, except for placing him on a 'no-fly list,' Indian Express reported quoting the intelligence agency file on Nijjar.
Nijjar had been associated with Khalistani militants since the 1980s and travelled to Pakistan in 2012, where he received training in arms and explosives.
Upon returning to Canada, he began raising funds for terrorist activities through his associates involved in drug and arms smuggling within Canada.
In 2014, Nijjar planned a terror attack in Haryana's Sirsa, but the Indian government denied him a visa, according to the dossier.

Canada’s Leader of Opposition Pierre Poilievre  sought an apology from PM Justin Trudeau for honouring a Nazi veteran.

Justin Trudeau must apologise for honouring Nazi veteran: Canada Oppn leader

Canada&rsquo;s Leader of Opposition Pierre Poilievre&nbsp; sought an apology from PM Justin Trudeau for honouring a Nazi veteran.

Canada&rsquo;s Leader of Opposition Pierre Poilievre criticised Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for meeting and honouring a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (a Nazi division). He demanded an apology from Trudeau over the matter.&nbsp;
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Poilievre said Liberals arranged for Nazi veteran to be recognized on the floor of the House of Commons during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy&rsquo;s visit to Canada this week. He called it an &ldquo;appalling error&rdquo; in judgement on the part of Trudeau, whose office is responsible for arranging and vetting all guests and programming for state visits of this kind.
In a post shared on X, Pierre Poilievre stated, &ldquo;It has come out today that Justin Trudeau personally met with and honoured a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (a Nazi division). Liberals then arranged for this Nazi veteran to be recognized on the floor of the House of Commons during the visit of the Ukrainian President.&rdquo;
He further added, &ldquo;This is an appalling error in judgement on the part of Justin Trudeau, whose personal protocol office is responsible for arranging and vetting all guests and programming for state visits of this kind. No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual&rsquo;s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past. Mr Trudeau must personally apologize and avoid passing the blame to others as he always does.&rdquo;
He made the statement in response to a post shared by Canadian-based human rights group organisation Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center&rsquo;s (FSWC) post shared on X.&nbsp;
In the post, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center stated, &ldquo;FSWC is appalled that Canada&rsquo;s Parliament gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who served in a Nazi military unit during the Second World War implicated in the mass murder of Jews and others.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Anthony Rota, Speaker of Canada&rsquo;s House of Commons, has extended apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. He spoke about introducing an individual in the gallery on September 22 during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy&rsquo;s address at the Canadian Parliament.&nbsp;
In a statement, Rota said, &ldquo;On Friday, September 22, in my remarks following the address of the President of Ukraine, I recognized an individual in the gallery. I have subsequently become aware of more information which causes me to regret my decision to do so. I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them.&rdquo;
He further said, &ldquo;This initiative was entirely my own, the individual in question being from my riding and having been brought to my attention. I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world. I accept full responsibility for my actions.&rdquo;
On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Canadian Parliament and said that Russia&rsquo;s aggression must end with Ukraine&rsquo;s victory. He offered repeated thanks to Canada for its continued support of Kyiv.
Zelenskyy was accompanied by Ukraine&rsquo;s First Lady Olena Zelenska. They received a standing ovation upon arrival in the House of Commons.
In his address at the Canadian Parliament, Zelenskyy said, &ldquo;This Russian aggression must end with our victory so that Russia will never bring back genocide to Ukraine and will never ever try to do so, Moscow must lose once and for all and it will lose.&rdquo;

A Washington Post and ABC News poll shows that Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump in the lead up to the 2024 US presidential elections

US presidential elections: new poll shows Joe Biden trailing behind Donald Trump by 10 points

A Washington Post and ABC News poll shows that Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump in the lead up to the 2024 US presidential elections

A new poll by the Washington Post and ABC News has shown President Joe Biden trailing behind his predecessor Donald Trump in a hypothetical November 2024 match.
&ldquo;Trump edges out Biden 51-42 in head-to-head matchup,&rdquo; the poll said. Trump is way ahead of his other Republican rivals in the party&rsquo;s presidential race. The GOP's formal nomination process will begin with the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primary in January.
While two of the Indian-American Republican presidential aspirants -- former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy -- have gained momentum in recent weeks, Trump is far ahead of his GOP rivals and political pundits believe that he is on his way to becoming the party&rsquo;s nominee.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday said that a record number of Americans say they have become worse off under his presidency. Three-quarters say he's too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect -- all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead, according to the poll results.
However, the Washington Post disagrees with the results of the poll. The prominent American daily reported that the poll showing Trump beating Biden by 10 points is likely an &ldquo;outlier&rdquo; as the two rivals are in a dead heat according to other polls.
&ldquo;The Post-ABC poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle, although the sizable margin of Trump&rsquo;s lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest a virtual dead heat. The difference between this poll and others, as well as the unusual makeup of Trump&rsquo;s and Biden&rsquo;s coalitions in this survey, suggest it is probably an outlier,&rdquo; the daily said.
According to the poll, Trump is favoured by 54 per cent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is second at 15 per cent, down from 25 per cent in May.&nbsp;

Indian officials have said that Canada hasn't shared any evidence on Nijjar murder. They said Trudeau should name the killer.

Canada should name Nijjar's killer, Indian official who 'ordered' hit: Officials

Indian officials have said that Canada hasn't shared any evidence on Nijjar murder. They said Trudeau should name the killer.

Indian security officials have claimed that Canada has not shared any credible evidence through either the diplomatic or the intelligence channel with New Delhi on Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder.
According to Hindustan Times, the officials said that neither Canada nor the United States shared any intelligence on the issue in the run-up to the G20 Summit.
The officials further said that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau should name the killer of Nijjar and the Indian government official, if any' who allegedly ordered the hit.
The officials insisted that Trudeau&rsquo;s allegations are politically motivated with an eye on the Sikh diaspora in Canada.

Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair called India-Canada relationship important amid tensions over Nijjar's murder.

Relationship with India important: Canada Defence Minister amid Nijjar row

Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair called India-Canada relationship important amid tensions over Nijjar's murder.

Terming the relationship with India as "important", Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair on Sunday said that his country will continue to pursue partnerships like the Indo-Pacific strategy while the investigation of the killing of a Sikh separatist leader continues.
Tensions flared between India and Canada ᨊfollowing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's explosive allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, on his country's soil on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
India angrily rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
Canada had been seeking deeper trade, defence and immigration ties with India before the &ldquo;credible intelligence,&rdquo; as Trudeau called it, was first raised with Canadian officials, Global News reported.
In an interview aired Sunday on The West Block, Blair suggested Canada will continue to pursue those partnerships while the investigation into allegations continues, calling the relationship with India &ldquo;important.&rdquo; &ldquo;We understand that this can be, and has proven to be, a challenging issue with respect to our relationship with India,&rdquo; he was quoted as saying by Global News.
&ldquo;But at the same time, we have a responsibility to defend the law, defend our citizens, and at the same time make sure that we conduct a thorough investigation and get to the truth.&rdquo; If the allegations are proven true, Blair said &ldquo;there is a very significant concern that Canada will have with respect to the violation of our sovereignty in the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.&rdquo; Blair said the Indo-Pacific strategy was still a critical one for Canada and has led to an increased military presence in the region and commitments for further patrol capabilities.
The strategy commits USD 492.9 million over five years toward those military priorities, out of a total of nearly USD 2.3 billion over the same period.
On Thursday, India asked Canada to come down hard on terrorists and anti-India elements operating from its soil and suspended visa services for Canadians, as escalating tensions between the two nations over the killing of Nijjar pushed their ties to an all-time low.
India also asked Canada to downsize its diplomatic staff in the country, arguing that there should be parity in strength and rank equivalence in the mutual diplomatic presence. The size of Canadian diplomatic staff in India is larger than what New Delhi has in Canada.

Now free of the sample capsule, Osiris-Rex is already targeting another asteroid. That encounter won't occur until 2029.

Video: Space capsule carrying NASA’s first asteroid samples returns to Earth

Now free of the sample capsule, Osiris-Rex is already targeting another asteroid. That encounter won't occur until 2029.

A space capsule carrying NASA&rsquo;s first asteroid samples touched down in the Utah desert Sunday to cap a seven-year journey.
Flying by Earth, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft released the capsule from 63,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) out.
The capsule parachuted down four hours later onto the military&rsquo;s Utah Test and Training Range.
Scientists anticipated getting at least a cup of rubble from the carbon-rich asteroid known as Bennu. About a teaspoon was returned by Japan, the only other country to bring back asteroid samples.
The pristine samples are believed to be the leftover building blocks from the dawn of our solar system and will help scientists better understand how Earth and life formed.
Osiris-Rex rocketed away on the $1 billion mission in 2016. It reached Bennu two years later and, using a long stick vacuum, grabbed dust and pebbles from the small roundish space rock in 2020.
By the time it returned Sunday, the spacecraft had traveled 4 billion miles (6.2 billion kilometers).
Now free of the sample capsule, Osiris-Rex is already targeting another asteroid. That encounter won't occur until 2029.
NASA&rsquo;s recovery effort in Utah includes helicopters and a temporary clean room set up at the range. The samples will be flown Monday to a new lab at NASA&rsquo;s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
