We do not investigate movements or ideologies

New Delhi is upset with Canada’s inaction, while Ottawa continues to blame “Indian agents’’ for the June 18 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. The past few months have seen exit of diplomats from both countries, threats to Indian missions and diplomats in Canada, and a sharp rise in warnings about terror attacks on Indian soil. The latest was the open threat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Indian leaders by the US-based lawyer Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, adviser to the banned Sikhs for Justice organisation.

THE WEEK asked Marie-Eve Breton of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police about the rising threats by pro-Khalistani extremists and about action to ensure the safety of Indians as well as Canadians. Breton said the RCMP was working closely with its Five Eyes partners (the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand) to respond to all threats to national security. Excerpts:

Q/There is worry among Indian diplomats in Canada about their safety after repeated threats by pro-Khalistani radicals.

Detaching morality from economic policy

Is the Adani imbroglio an episodic, one-off incident-or does it reflect a major systemic lacuna in our conception of development and democracy? Mahatma Gandhi had said the national objective must be \"to wipe every tear from every eye\" and earlier answered a question about his \"dream for India\" by saying he would \"work for an India in which the poorest shall feel it is their country\" in the making of which it is their voice that shall prevail.
