Will Justin Trudeau Be As Concerned About ‘Suspected Murder’ of Baloch Activist In Canada As He was About Farmers Agitation In Indian State Of Punjab
Dated : 24 Dec 2020 (IST)
Even while farmers in the Indian State Of Punjab were exercising their democratic Right to Protest against the newly passed farm related bills in the Iindian Parliament, Justin Trudeau’s eyes started having copious flow of Canadian tear and even his start had started to bleed.
Though till now he has not shown any concern when in his own Canada the body of Karima Baloch was found in Toronto, where she had been living in exile for five years.
On Tuesday, the Guardian reported that the dissident Baloch human rights activist living in exile in Canada has been found dead in Toronto after going missing. She had been named as one of the 100 Most Influential Women by BBC in 2016.
BJP’s foreign affairs department head Vijay Chauthaiwale rightly took a swipe at the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after dissident Pakistani human rights activist Karima Baloch was found dead in Canada and questioned his “silence”.
“Rather than making uninformed, unsubstantiated comments on farmer’s agitation in India, Canadian PM @JustinTrudeau should be concerned about suspected murder of Baloch activist Karima Baloch in Toronto. But he is silent so far,” Chauthaiwale tweeted.
Local sources said the police found her body drowned off on an island near Toronto’s lakeshore. Her husband Hammal Haider and brother have identified her body, which is with the police. Karima Baloch, a famous Baloch activist had escaped Pakistan in 2016 to take refuge in Canada.
Karima had escaped from Balochistan with help from a few friends and Baloch activists, when her life was in danger.
Baloch had been a harsh critic of former Pakistan Army officers settling down in Canada and was one of the most vocal proponents of Balochistan’s independence from Pakistan.
The Baloch National Movement has announced forty days of mourning for Karima Baloch.
In 2016, she had recorded a Raksha Bandhan message for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking support for their struggle for independence.
