Canada-India relations strain over killing of Sikh separatist leader

LONDON — The diplomatic breach between Canada and India over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader near Vancouver has widened as both countries expelled one of the other’s diplomats and India suspended visa processing for Canadian citizens.
Ties between the two countries, which are close security and trade partners and U.S. allies, strained after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday that investigators were actively probing “credible allegations” about the potential involvement of Indian government agents in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs quickly rejected Trudeau’s allegations, calling them “absurd” and accusing Canada of sheltering “terrorists and extremists” who “continue to threaten India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” according to a statement.
Nijjar, who lived in Canada for over 20 years and advocated for Sikh independence while running a plumbing business, was gunned down on June 18 in front of a temple in Surrey, near Vancouver. In 2020, the Indian government had classified him as a terrorist belonging to a banned militant group, accusations that Nijjar and his followers always denied.
Canada is home to the largest Sikh population outside of India. According to Statistics Canada, the North American nation is home to 1.35 million Indians who make up around three percent of Canada’s population.

In a notice posted on Thursday on BLS International, India’s visa application center in Canada, the center announced it is suspending visa services for Canadians “until further” notice due to “operational reasons, with effect from 21 September 2023.”
India’s Ministry of External Affairs also issued an advisory for Indian Nationals and students in Canada, urging them to “exercise utmost caution” due to “growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada.”
ABC News has reached out to India’s Ministry of External Affairs for comment.
“We are not looking to provoke or cause problems, but we are unequivocal about the rule of law and unequivocal about protecting Canadians and standing up for our values,” Trudeau told reporters at the United Nations on Thursday.
“That is why we call upon the government of India to work with us to establish processes, to uncover the truth of the matter and allow justice and accountability to be served,” he said.
Trudeau was in contact with U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration about the findings on which he based his allegations before he made them public, a U.S. official told AP on condition of anonymity.
In response to the row, U.S. top national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that there are “no exceptions” for actions like this.
“Regardless of the country, we will stand up and defend our basic principles and we will also consult closely with allies like Canada as they pursue their law enforcement and diplomatic process,” Sullivan said.
Canada-India relations have grown significantly in recent years, with the Canadian government announcing that bilateral trade in goods reached nearly 12 billion Canadian dollars in 2023 – an increase of 57 percent from the previous year.
Now, pressure is mounting for the Canadian government to share more of the evidence for its “credible allegations,” especially as some of the evidence reportedly came from Five Eyes allies, an intelligence-sharing network that includes the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the CBC reported this week, citing Canadian government sources.
It’s unclear whether the Nijjar question was already brought up at the recent G20 summit in New Delhi. A few days later, Canada announced it was cancelling a trade mission to India planned for the fall.

Summary: Riema Labs Inc. (Nubit) introduces Goldinals, a Bitcoin-native token protocol designed to unify fragmented asset standards, enable programmability, and bring trustless innovation to Bitcoin.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – Bitcoin’s growing ecosystem has given rise to various meta-protocols like BRC-20, Ordinals, and Runes, creating a fragmented and often inefficient environment for digital assets. Riema Labs Inc. (Nubit), a pioneer in Bitcoin-native infrastructure, has unveiled Goldinals, a unified protocol for Bitcoin assets, a trust-minimized fungible token standard that promises to unify these protocols and bring advanced programmability to Bitcoin, all while adhering to Bitcoin’s core principles of security and decentralization.
What Is Goldinals?
Goldinals is a unified protocol for Bitcoin assets.
Bitcoins unmatched security has solidified its dominance, but its lack of global state and native programmability has limited its utility for asset issuance. Protocols like BRC-20 and Ordinals rely on off-chain indexers, introducing inefficiencies and trust issues.
Goldinals eliminates these pain points by bringing two advancements:
- A unified, trust-minimized protocol that allows seamless interoperability across existing standards like BRC-20, Ordinals, Runes, and CAT. Developers no longer need to design fragmented, one-off solutions for new assets.
- Native programmability powered by BitVM, enabling the on-chain execution of advanced logic such as token gating, multi-signature wallets, and conditional transfers–all without sacrificing Bitcoin’s core principles of security and decentralization.
For developers, Goldinals offers an ERC-20-inspired API—Deploy, Mint, Transfer, and Burn–making it intuitive to create scalable applications. For users, Goldinals ensures that all operations are validated directly on-chain, delivering a seamless, secure, and unified experience for Bitcoin-native assets.
Unifying Bitcoin’s Asset Ecosystem
Bitcoin’s asset ecosystem has become a tangle of competing protocols, each with its strengths and limitations. BRC-20, for example, enabled native tokens on Bitcoin but relies heavily on centralized indexers for state management, creating vulnerabilities. Ordinals revolutionized data inscription but offers limited programmability. Other protocols, like CAT, require changes to Bitcoin’s consensus rules, which makes widespread adoption impractical.
Goldinals solves these problems by unifying Bitcoin’s asset ecosystem into a single standard that combines compatibility, security, cost-efficiency and scalability. Key features include:
- Full compatibility with existing protocols like BRC-20 and Ordinals, ensuring that developers don’t need to reinvent the wheel to build new features.
- Interoperability across applications, enabling seamless integration of both current and future innovations.
- Trust minimization, achieved by validating every operation directly on Bitcoin using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and BitVM, eliminating reliance on centralized services or external indexers.
- Reduced transaction costs and improved scalability, powered by ZKPs for state compression and BitVM for off-chain computation. This ensures even complex operations are efficient, cost-effective, and secure.
Goldinals creates an environment where wallets, exchanges, and developers can operate without fragmentation, turning Bitcoin into a cohesive platform for decentralized finance, token issuance, and programmable assets.
Goldinals: The Gold Standard for Bitcoin Assets
Goldinals doesn’t merely address Bitcoin’s current challenges–it redefines its future. By combining trust minimization, native programmability, and ecosystem unification, Goldinals enables applications and assets that were previously unimaginable on Bitcoin. From trustless crowdsales to DeFi protocols, Goldinals is paving the way for Bitcoin to become the ultimate platform for decentralized innovation.
As Bitcoin’s ecosystem continues to expand, Goldinals is set to become the definitive standard for fungible tokens, driving adoption and innovation across the network.
