Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar ul Haq Kakar has raised a compelling call for the formation of an international alliance aimed at checking unethical Indian behaviour following assassination of a Sikh leader in Canada. This incident has not only strained relations between New Delhi and Ottawa but has also sparked a global conversation about the need to hold India accountable for atrocious actions against humanity.
Addressing a news conference at the Pakistan Mission in New York, Prime Minister Kakar shared Pakistan’s own experiences as a victim of state-sponsored terrorism, accusing India of playing a role in these incidents. He emphasised that Pakistan had consistently provided evidence of India’s involvement in such activities at various global and multilateral forums These revelations underline the urgency of holding India accountable for its actions, not only in the context of this particular incident but also as part of a broader pattern of behaviour. The murder of the Sikh leader has also illuminated the extent to which India is accused of persecuting its minority populations, including Christians, Sikhs, and Muslims. US Ambassador to Canada, David Cohen, has now also confirmed that “shared intelligence among Five Eyes partners” had informed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about possible involvement of Indian agents in the murder of a Canadian citizen in June. This leaves no doubt that the Indian agents were actually behind the cold-blooded murder. Hence Kakar’s call for international alliance must not go unnoticed. It resonates with those who believe that no nation, regardless of its size or geopolitical significance, should be immune from scrutiny when its actions run counter to principles of justice and humanity. In fact it is rooted in principles of accountability, justice and human rights.
It seeks to create a platform where nations can come together to investigate, monitor and take action against any state found responsible for actions that threaten global peace and stability. Holding India accountable for its alleged involvement in the murder of Sikh leader in Canada is not just about bilateral relations between India and Canada, it’s about upholding international norms and ensuring that all nations are held to same standards of behaviour. The international community bears a responsibility to transcend economic and political considerations and take steps to check India’s transgressions and troubling human rights record. Sweeping these issues under the rug will further embolden New Delhi to go ahead with its blood spree even on foreign lands.
