Harper-Modi: The 'Islamophobe Combo'
Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to arrive in Canada on a 3-day visit next Thursday on Harper's invitation as part of his 8-day three nations (France, Germany and Canada) as part of his ambitious 'Made in India' campaign. He also plans to discuss India's military need with fellow Israel-First buddies, Hollande, Markel and Harper, and the situation in the Middle East.
Canada's prime minister Stephen Harper and Narendra Modi are 'birds of the feather' in many ways. Their political base is Islamophobia and both are supported by Israel and Jewish lobby groups. Last year, Stephen Harper received a hero's welcome in Israel, while Netanyahu lavished praise on him for being 'courageous and far-sighted' for cancelling diplomatic relation with Iran. Netanyahu was one of the first foreign political leaders who congratulated Modi on his election victory as head of the Hindu extremist political parties.
In France, where Modi is making his first visit since taking office last year, he will seek to speed up price negotiations for the building of two reactors by state-run Areva S.A. of 1,650 megawatts each in the western state of Maharashtra.
In Canada, Modi hopes to close in on a deal to secure uranium imports after a 2013 agreement ended a 39-year embargo on nuclear trade with India following its first nuclear test in 1974, which set a chain reaction in Pakistan and China.
Beside one-million Canadian Muslims, the Sikh community in Canada is not happy seeing Modi being welcomed in Canada. The New York-based Sikh human rights group, Sikh for Justice (SFJ), has filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Canada seeking criminal proceedings against Modi for the "offences of torture and genocide" in Gujarat in 2002 under Canadian law which resulted in the murder of over 2,000 Muslim men, women and children while hundreds of Muslim girls were gang-raped by Hindu fascists.
The great majority of diaspora Sikh communities in both the US and Canada support an independent Sikh state (Khalistan) in the northern state of Punjab bordering Pakistan's province by the same name. On November 1966, Hindutva groups succeeded in partitioning India's part of Punjab into 3 states , Hindu-majority areas were divided into the states of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana.
Modi who visited Israel as chief minister of Gujarat state in 2002, was banned to visit the US and Britain as result of Muslim genocide. However, Ottawa did not ban Modi for his 'Israeli connection'. Last year Harper and Hollande met Modi at G-20 meeting in Australia.
The last Indian prime minister who visited Canada was Indra Gandhi, who visited Canada in 1973. She was assassinated on October 31, 1984 in New Delhi. Later her son, prime minister Rajiv Gandhi was also assassinated by his Sikh bodyguards on May 21, 1991. Both assassinations were allegedly result of Indian army's attack on Sikhism most sacred place, Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab in 1984. In the aftermath, extremist Hindu mobs killed over 18,000 Sikh civilians in New Delhi and several other parts of India.
Canada-India relations suffered the biggest blow after the bombing of Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985 – allegedly a false flag operation carried out by the Indian and Canadian intelligence agencies to demean Sikh Canadians who provides major funding for the Khalistan movement.
