Modi’s G7 Delay Explained: Did the Khalistan Lobby in Canada Play a Role?

A shocking revelation by Canadian journalist Mocha Bezirgan has stirred global attention, claiming that Khalistani groups have plotted to assassinate PM Modi. This explosive claim raises the question: Was this threat the real reason behind India’s delayed invite to the G7 Summit in Canada? Speculation grew as Modi remained uninvited to the G7 summit scheduled for June 15, 2025, despite India's crucial role in the forum. The backdrop includes tense Indo-Canadian relations since 2023, when former PM Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of involvement in the killing of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. With the Liberal Party's return to power in March 2025, diplomatic ties showed signs of thawing. Foreign Minister Anita Anand's call to S. Jaishankar on May 25 marked a potential reset. But hopes were dashed when new Canadian PM Mark Carney didn’t extend the G7 invite.
