The Spin
Narrative A
As more and more stories emerge involving the murders of Sikhs in Canada, it's time for the Indian government to take responsibility for its role, no matter how small. At least one Indian intelligence official is known to have been involved in the recent failed assassination attempt, prompting even the US government to push New Delhi into making a statement.
Narrative B
This 'all eyes on India' approach shows how weak journalism is today. Any investigator worth their salt would know that Sikh separatists have strong ties to Canada's underground organized crime world. Many of these murders are likely not even politically motivated but rather the consequence of drug and money disputes.
