Canada Crisis: Forty years later, Operation Bluestar hits India’s geo-political relations Ground Zero Jagtar Singh That India and Canada have expelled six diplomats each is now old story. Coinciding with this deepening crisis between the two countries is the media report that India has conveyed to USA that that ‘CC1’, code for Indian official who allegedly figured in the plan to assassinate US-based Sikh separatist activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has been arrested. The issue in general in both the cases is the same but the approach is diametrically opposite. What is common in both the cases is the allegation of hand of Indian agencies in a murder in Canada and plan to murder on the soil of USA. What is again common in both the cases is the Sikh narrative relating to activities of the Sikh separatists demanding sovereign state of Khalistan in the land of Punjab that is part of India. These separatists operate from the lands of Canada, USA, UK and several other counties
