Actually, I was just about to say if the west happens to be lying through their teeth, they would be emboldened to spread countless other lies about other countries and get away with it.

Or even better, they are already quite emboldened and have experience with lying categorically thinking it would work all the time.

> It was reported that Pavan Kumar Rai posted a hit on Nijjar on some deepweb website used to hire assassins.

If that is the case, I'd have hoped it would be viral by now. But anyhow, they would have to establish the link between the Pavan Kumar Rai's activities and the killer. The killer who they have not identified.

It's similar to when Biden said Russia's Nord stream gas pipelines will be no more if Russia invades Ukraine. When the sabotage was done, no one could blame the US since there was no evidence linking it to them.

I don't get how you folks believe Canada's allegations right off the bat, when there is no factual proof or evidence provided by them.

As long as there is no evidence provided by Canada, India is the victim here, with Canada leveling baseless allegations on her.

That's why I said, India has to confirm Canada's factual evidence first, because it can be any politically motivated bullshit for all we know.

Or the attacks may have been carried out by a rogue agent, with no hand of the Indian government in it. But even then the Canada has jumped the gun and claimed that the killings were state sponsored. In that case too India is the victim with Canada making false accusations against her.

Why not? If the evidence can be fact-checked on both sides, then its credibility can be established. All this depends on what kind of evidence Canada has (if at all they do).

Lawrence Bishnoi did claim responsibility for the 2nd killing. But what makes you so sure that the Indian government is contracting the hit squad? The big problem that Canada has is they have not even identified the killer. Even if Bishnoi makes big claims, how are they going to prove them? And then they will have to estabilish the link between GoI and Bishnoi. All that if at all their 'conspiracy theory' that India has a hand in killings holds any water. Which I honestly doubt.

Why the hell should the Indian government trust Canada's so-called evidence that they are not even willing to reveal? Anyone with two brain cells will call bs on something like this.

These right-wing, left-wing terms have come from the west and violated with a negative connotation from the west. Don't defile anything in the east with these vile implications that the western nazis have come to associate with. We in the east are civilized people, not genocidal barbarians. Thank you.

Yes, I think it is a good comment because it answers the question exactly to the point. However, if there is an implied question as to 'why' people should be able to own arms, then of course it's better to elaborate further.
