Canadian security expert Joe Adam George commented on the ongoing India-Canada diplomatic row, attributing the West’s dismissive stance on India’s concerns about Khalistani extremism to the perception that the movement doesn’t pose a direct threat to Western nations. George criticized the Canadian government’s conflation of all Sikhs with Khalistanis, stating this fundamental misunderstanding complicates the issue.

While India denied these allegations, the diplomatic rift deepened, underscored by Canada’s longstanding inaction against extremist elements.
