Indian politician threatens to nuke Canada on live show
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday said that they had credible evidence linking Indian agents to the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
I am glad that the rest of the world is finally finding out just how insane Indian politics is. There's a lot of fearmongering, grandstanding, and really stupid political stances going on in India, along with rampant human rights abuses.
You think Republicans in the US are insane? They've got nothing on what goes on in India.
Most Indians they have emigrated out of that shithole country will never talk about this kind of thing or any of the actual lawlessness, level of corruption, bigotry, and religious intense that happens in India.
I'm an Indian who's moved to the US and I'm pretty pissed off that the US openly welcomed Modi after the was banned for what he did in the riots in the early 2000s.
Hopefully the world gets to know the real India.
I would not frame it as "real India", but as what has happened since 2013 national elections, BJP neofascist Hindutvavaadis took over the government, media and legal institutions. The problem is BJP's supporter base is sizeable, and it kind of is proportionally similar to how half of USA supports Republicans.
The real India is not neofascistic, many people hate the poison of news and TV media, nationalistic movies and Hindu-Muslim vitriolic politics.
Let’s not give republicans stretch goals ok
I am an Indian and I request you to ignore the trash talk these insignificant politicians do on a "live debate shows" to get views for news channels. These notorious news channels pays "politicians" to come to their show to fight, get insulted, speak gibberish and anything that can be done to increase viewership.
Update: The person asking to nuke is a random dude, not a politician.
I am Canadian, and thank you for pointing this out. What a fucking mess, eh?
Hope you're doing well, and all this gets figured out soon.
i am not indian and i beg you to stop the cast system. stop supporting russia. grow up on the conflict with pakistan. any maybe even stop india it devs claiming to be able to develop proper software...it is always a framework wrapping a page or a template they copied at university. damn...indian devs drive me nuts
First go check who blew up your Nordstream pipeline and not falsely accuse Russia.
Nuclear Gandhi has entered the chat…
We're just living in a game of civ
I hope not one of mine, I am terrible at it.
Now, which nation has the Giant Death Robots?
I feel as if I may need to move.
Why though? Why Canada?
India has its hands full already with China, and there's no ally to be found across their border with Pakistan either.
So what gives? Why go pick on Canada, just because a guy there wanted to entertain the thought of a sikh state free from India?
Because Canada had the balls to say “yo why the fuck you killing someone in Canada?”
The absolute gall.
Possibly even a second guy, depending on what exactly happened to the guy in Winnipeg. Makes me wonder if just more and more of the separatist advocates are going to die in mysterious circumstances and India will keep boasting about it and threatening anyone who calls Modi out on it.
Because Modi solidifies domestic power by labeling any Sikh protestor as khalistanist (i.e. terrorist). Any whiff of separatism is a threat to his power. Canada just got in the way
Leftist here that despises Modi and Hindutva agenda. Sorry, we do not want Khalistan here, they better stay out of India (in UK, Canada and USA) if they think these Nihangs can commit terrorism and break off Punjab off of India.
Khalistanis are not a threat to Modi/BJP, but to India. BJP could literally vanish tomorrow and they are still our version of the Confederate USA stans.
India and China both understand that they aren't each other's greatest military rivals solely because the Himalayas make any large military action impossible. They also understand that they aren't each other's greatest economic rivals because their states of development complement each other.
Better become fast friends with Russia bro. I wonder how he thinks nuking a NATO member that shares its land mass with the United States is going to work out. I'm pretty sure they've mixed up their mouth and asshole.
The UK has a large Indian population seems weird to outwardly threaten one of their allies in such a way. Hell Canda has a large Indian population in and of themselves.
What would happen if a non aligned country nukes NATO? I know India is aligning themselves with Russia or atleast the news is presenting it that way but. Would all nuclear armed countries nuke India? Would it cause Russia to Nuke the USA and vice versa or would everyone nuke India or only a back and forth between NATO and India?
When India launched their nukes, Pakistan would probably nuke India, fearing they were being targeted. Article 5 gets triggered and every NATO member is at war with India, which might involve nuking them, might not. Russia would probably launch their nukes in response to NATO countries firing their nukes at India because, again, they'd think they might be being targeted. If NATO didn't launch nukes and just carries out a conventional attack on India, Russia probably doesn't get involved militarily.
I don't believe there would be retaliatory nukes as that would just lead to further retaliation. India would quickly get cut off from international trade and financial systems and become a total pariah. Their only friends would be the other pariah states like ruzzia.
Now if the US got nuked there would definitely be military retaliation.
No, it would be much, much worse than that. Nuking a country is a declaration of war and an unprecedented violation of the post-WW2 norms that have prevented global nuclear armageddon. If the nuked country is in NATO, then NATO will absolutely go to war. That's the whole point of NATO. NATO would probably not start with nuclear retaliation, but India would get invaded and/or be forced to capitulate. It would be like Japan after WW2. India would be forced to give up its nukes. Modi and other leaders would be tried as war criminals. Significant adjustments to the Indian constitution would be made. Permanent NATO bases would be established in India. Within a couple of years, India would be allowed to hold elections and self-govern again as a non-nuclear NATO ally, which would both protect it from Pakistan or China and make it entirely dependent on NATO for that protection.
Canadians should ignore some of these deranged Indian rightwingers, they are same as the 4chan clowns in US/Canada that threaten to nuke India, China and Africa everyday on their basement imageboard. The mental issues are very similar, no matter what part of the world.

I feel a closer comparison might be American politicians who've suggested different civilian areas or cultural centers should be bombed/nuked rather than nobody losers on an internet forum
The trouble is these actions are endorsed by Modi.
He is a paper tiger outside his sphere of influence - North Indian states where Hindutva terrorists and goons exist.
Jesus christ how unhinged do you have to be to go on live television just fucking say that out loud? Actual loonies running the country there.
Decades of elections and "leadership" across most countries means lots of places have lots of people who think they know what they're doing, but really don't. So they think being in power means threatening use of power.
"How dare you accuse us of murder? If you keep this up, we'll show you our peaceful ways by force!"
Can we fucking not? India. Dafuq.
Further proving the authoritarian Indian government are very similar to the Kremlin regime
Nothing says "we didn't do it" like threatening to nuke one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
After all the worry about NATO and Russia starting WW3. It would be almost comical if it was India that did it.
Out of curiosity. What countries would back India's unprecedented surprise nuking of Canada? Or would they just be opening themselves up to being attacked by the entire planet at that point?
this article showed up on r/worldnews too. i wonder why they don't get any more specific than "an indian politician"
My favorite fact about Indian nuclear weapons is that the only way they got the tritium for the bombs from a Canadian-designed CANDU reactor. They were not supposed to generate too much tritium as a byproduct but eventually there was enough for the Indians to build the tamper for a Teller-Ulam nuke.
Honestly, I couldn't agree more... even if I live in Canada.
So hold up - does anyone have a better source? Who is this guy? What's his story? How much influence does he wield?
I suppose if they just got Alberta we might be better off.
Uhhhh, I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the dude in the video is the show's host, not the guest.
Broken Hindu Fascist clock, correct two times a day.
Man you people really just hate Indian people don't you lol
I fail to see how sharing a news article about someone (supposedly) voted into political office threatening to use nuclear weapon on another democratic sovereign nation implies “we” (whatever the heck that even mean) hate the people of the country.
Bro I'm Indian and I FUCKING hate that country. If you resort to whataboutisms as a defense of the horrible shit that happens there then you're part of the problem.
My wife and her family are all from India and she always says she doesn't want to talk politics. My first time arguing politics with her family, they all started aggressively shouting, with her uncle even shoving me a little as they raised points that made absolutely no sense and my counterpoints were met with thinly-veiled threats. Finally, I was told that I don't know how anything works because I only knew what I heard on mainstream media, but they knew the truth because they "know these things." The only things I learned that day were:
- Never argue politics with anyone who supports Modi
- My wife is always right
ETA: When I asked if they were threatening me, they'd say no and that I don't know how to argue politics. I'm guessing this person threatening to nuke Canada in the same way you'll hear people say "I'll give you such a slap."
Just the Indian politicians who condones extrajudicial killings in a foreign country.
Yeah. India needed to be called out on that. I'm wondering if there's going to be heated altercations between Canadian Sikhs and Indians.
Just the dumbfucks.
Relation?
