'No special exemption for actions like this: US NSA': As regards the Indo-Canada Row

[Sukla Sen]

[Quite a detailed one. Could not be copied.]

Make no mistake, Canada is no Pakistan.

Admittedly, these are games that states play since inception.

Right now, Kulbhushan Yadav, an alleged RAW operative in Pakistan jail, is desperately trying to ward off death penalty being convicted of subversive activities.

No one else bats an eyelid. This way or that way.

In Sri Lanka, India, in a very big way, had trained and aided various Tamil militant (or liberationist/terrorist?) groups -- just not the LTTE.

Would boomerang later. That's entirely another matter.

No one else batted an eyelid.

So, just to clarify, that's not the point.

The point is: Canada is no Pakistan (or Sri Lanka for that matter).

Quite likely, though not inevitable, the 56" would learn it the rather hard way.

Moreover, things came to boil, not after the murder as such, but immediately after the reported mistreatment of Trudeau in Delhi during the G-20 Summit. (Stupid ones would brag about it: <https://theprint.in/opinion/sharp-edge/trudeau-looking-for-payback-for-his-indian-humiliations-he-can-do-bhangra-instead/1771125/>!!!)

What's critical is who is playing the game against whom?

Btw, even now, some dumb drumbeater has come up with a "hard state" spin: <https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/is-raw-the-new-mossad-indias-image-turns-from-soft-state-to-hard-under-modi-and-doval-13144392.html>!!!

One only wonders whether India played the role of the midwife for Bangladesh, braving the American naval fleet specially mobilised to threaten -- spearheaded by the formidable nuclear-powered USS Enterprise -- in the Bay of Bengal near Chittagong Port, post-2014!???
