Letters to the Editor: Diplomatic offensive

Diplomatic offensive

The developments starting from January 26 last year when some Khalistani supporters disguised themselves as farmers and vandalized the Republic Day celebration in Delhi by even dishonouring our Tricolour at the Red Fort. The latest political developments in Punjab have proved beyond doubts about the involvement of Khalistanis backed by ISI. The sleeper cells of Pakistan's ISI comprising of Navjot Singh Sidhu and the Punjab Chief Minister are now fully exposed before the nation in spite of denials made by some Congress leaders. Except Rahul Gandhi and his mother, who till date are maintaining a stoic silence due to reasons best known to all bonafide Indians, it is almost clear as daylight that the Khalistani terrorists are having a safe haven in UK and Canada from where they are operating with impunity against India. We know that so far India is having a cordial relation with both UK and Canada but it surprising why India has not taken up this vital issue with both countries and not demanded to extradite these Khalistani terrorists along with their supporters to India. UK is also giving asylum to two notorious economic offenders named Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi and their deportation to India is one of the long-standing demands of every Indian.

A diplomatic offensive in this regard is earnestly solicited from the Central Government. Any excuse from the above stated countries citing legal compulsion should be rejected outright.
