Pakistan's ISI killed Baloch activist Karima Baloch by drowning in December 2020 in Toronto, where she was granted asylum back in 2016.
Trudeau didn't raise any suspicions about her murder in Parliament at the time or since.
His silence only emboldened Pakistan's military establishment. With the recent killing of a Sikh Khalistani extremist in British Columbia, Pakistan's body count in Canada keeps piling up.
Last week, Trudeau wrongfully blamed his murder on India without providing any evidence.
Pakistan’s criminal government feels invincible and believes it has a free rein inside Canada because Canada is governed by very weak, dishonourable, and pathetic leaders who don't know an enemy from a friend, an activist from a terrorist, a hero from a gangster.
Canada’s support to Khalistani sympathiser Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the subsequent row with India over his killing has irked not only the latter but also the Baloch Human Rights Council of Canada, which questioned the lack of action in the kidnapping and alleged murder of exiled Baloch human rights activist Karima Baloch in 2020.Accusing Justin Trudeau of playing politics and ignoring the death of Baloch, the BHRC wrote a letter to the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau noting that there have been perceived inconsistencies in his government response to the mysterious death of Balochistan Rights Activists and protected individual Karima Baloch In December 2020, in Toronto.Claiming the stark contrast with the Canadian government on the pro-Khalistani leader, the letter said that Trudeau’s conspicuous silence regarding the high-profile unexplained death of Karima Baloch stands in stark contrast to his impassioned speech in the House of Commons and extensive media coverage concerning the shooting and death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
Khalistani sympathiser Hardeep Singh Nijjar was in regular touch with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and had met senior officials six days before he was killed in June this year, his son has claimed, lending credence to India’s stand of ISI’s involvement in the now-burgeoning diplomatic row.Sources told CNN-News18 that in his statement, 21-year-old Balraj Singh claimed that his father started meeting the CSIS officials after February and was also scheduled to meet them two days after he was killed.The statement has led Indian Intelligence agencies to raise serious questions about the “advice” to the Khalistani sympathiser to not go to his gurdwara at his usual times and avoid being seen in public, as claimed by his son. Sources said the agencies questioned why close proximity protection was not given to Nijjar if credible Intelligence was available against Indian agents.
Although Canada was quickly to implicate India in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, sources believe that Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) orchestrated the murder.
Sources cited by India Today said ISI had hired criminals to kill Nijjar and had been pressuring him to fully support gangsters who arrived in Canada in the past two years. However, Nijjar's inclination was towards the former Khalistani leaders.
The sources also believe that following Nijjar's killing, the ISI is now looking out for his replacement and is preparing to gather pro-Khalistan terrorists in Canada.
An excerpt from, "The Kill List" By Mary Lynk, CBC Radio, January 17, 2023:
The following episode contains difficult subject matter, including references to torture and suicide. Please take care. I began this investigation more than a year ago with a single question: What happened to Karima Baloch? Trying to answer that has taken me down paths that continue to be both surprising and concerning: Discovering threats, very real threats against Pakistani dissidents living in the West; an assassination plot; allegations of state-sanctioned kill lists; tens of thousands of missing people, grabbed by the Pakistani state. Most tortured, many killed. And an unsettling introduction to the ISI, Pakistan’s feared intelligence agency with tentacles spread throughout the world. But let’s return to where we began, to the woman who inspired this investigation: Karima Baloch. What clues do her final days hold? Knowing what I know now about the capabilities of the ISI and the dangers faced by other dissidents in the West. Are there any indications that the Pakistani State was involved in her death. Or did Karima herself choose not to come home that day?
An excerpt from, "Pakistan’s Security Today and Tomorrow" (PDF), CSIS, January 2009, Pg. 19 - 20:
Speaking about Pakistan’s international identity, the New York University’s Center on International Cooperation senior fellow, Barnett Rubin, indicated that the principal security threat emanating from Pakistan today is the confluence of Islamabad’s poor record pertaining to nuclear proliferation, which is the worst of any nuclear weapons state in the world, as well as the issue of terrorism, since Pakistan, as a geographical entity, is the major source of global terrorism today. The expert blamed the security doctrine of the Pakistani military for the convergence of these factors and the resulting threat to global security, asserting that Pakistan’s military still sees its primary mission as balancing and defending Pakistan against larger countries such as India or China, thus operating on the basis of a security doctrine which includes three ways of fighting. These are (a) conventional forces, (b) the use of deniable asymmetrical warfare, and (c) the possession of a credible nuclear deterrent.
The purpose of this doctrine may be to realise what some Pakistanis see as their country’s destiny to become a “Muslim empire” (which may not necessarily be the army’s point of view), while attaining certain specific military and security objectives, such as a favourable settlement of Kashmir. The doctrine is based on the fundamental belief that Pakistan’s neighbours do not accept Pakistan’s right to exist, a deeply entrenched paranoia that results from the often made assertion that Pakistan is an “artificial state”. On this issue, Dr. Christine Fair (RAND Corp.) added that the idea of an Indian threat may have been inflated and in part nurtured by the Pakistani military to ensure that it does not lose power and influence, and that it can continue to secure a large percentage of the country’s budget.
One may wish to note in that regard that President Asif Ali Zardari recently made several statements that are effectively antithetical to Pakistan’s security doctrine. Most notably, he stated that India has never been a threat to Pakistan’s security, further advocating that Pakistan ought to move away from current policies and embrace a no-first-use policy for its nuclear deterrent. The fact that these words have not resulted in any specific policy changes demonstrates the power that the military wields in Islamabad.
Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities as well as its asymmetrical tactics, namely the state-sponsored use of armed militants to pursue foreign-policy objectives, have at different points in history received the support of different states, such as China and the U.S. The conference heard that the U.S. has thus far considered the nuclear deterrent the bigger threat to global security, traditionally almost ignoring the issue of insurgency. Dr. Rubin stressed that there is a need for a policy reversal to cause Pakistan’s military to stop using armed militant groups as tools of foreign and security policy.
Concurrently, the exact nature of the relationship between the jihadists and the military, which controls the nuclear assets, needs to be clarified. The Pakistani military and the ISI have so far relied on asymmetrical warfare to pursue foreign-policy goals. A demobilisation of the “jihadi sector”, however, would hold the Pakistani state accountable for its actions, while adding transparency and eliminating any plausible denials. The eradication of the jihadi sector would carry with it an obligation to reintegrate the demobilised militants into the economy, as well as into society more generally, since jihadi activity has become an economy in itself. This economic complex, which according to Dr. Rubin is intrinsically linked to jihadi activity, would most likely prove a major hurdle in this effort.
