She tried her best... But he is veteran diplomate and former NSA of india.
The reporter says that just because JT is a prime minister of a democratic country that she assumes that JT would n't lie, and she conveniently forgot the fact the world's largest democracy had rejected all the allegations.
My thoughts exactly!
what can you expect from a Biased Western Media. The ABC is known for its bias towards India. Again, she does not have guts to speak what other countries are doing and their security agencies are doing.. Nonsense it was. Western Media Bias is world known
Hardly a democracy, a country that freezes bank accounts of peaceful protesters, tramples them with horses is not a democratic country in my definition.
So the bottom line is , if you're a democratic country with a white man as Prime Minister, you're automatically right in your assumption, and if you're not a white PM, you aren't really a democracy, and automatically presumed guilty. Welcome to Australian analysis of the world.
the president of a democracies also alleged WMDs in Iraq.
Why doesn't she interview Trudeau and challenge him to provide evidence ?
You meant to say... ' Why doesn't she interview Trudeau and THROW SOFTBALLS AT HIM?"
puppet? i gyess
I suspect you know you should say, "So why doesn't she challenge this evidence provided by the US and given to Trudeau?" But, I understand everyone pretends that isn't the case and attacks Trudy, instead of the US. It's comical.
@@razbegin US was not the one to put accusations, (puppet?) PM being targeted was
because most of Canadian media is govt-supported
The way she is questioning is as if she knows that or Canadian PM has told her that India has done and she has evidence, pure arrogance
She is not from Godi media
@@gsgill3144yeah she is from tudo media 😂
@@gsgill3144 True. The so called non-godhi would also have agreed with Trudeau that India is at fault. And then wonder why we call them anti-national!
@@gsgill3144Is the Empty media(Khaali), tho?
@@gsgill3144 She is from Islamic media ?
The reporter is mistaking Indian agents with James Bond movies😂😂
Or they have watched Tiger zinda hai.
@@kapilsethia9284jawan pathan
Not really. its mud slinging
With India is never Indian agents. Its always hired hands. Only crazy countries like Russia and Israel send their own agents.
There is however no accountability of Treudeu. Air India Plane was blown off by Canadians and no one convicted in 35 years. Truedeu is openly supporting the people who are threat to India and attack Indian high commission on regular basis. Nobody asks anything from Trudeu.
those are brown Canadian thats why
@@atntaltdexactly, they talk much about equality, as long as it favours their interest, but in reality they are quite different.
and one more thing it was Justinder's father who was the PM. And more than 300+ canadians died. Only 1 person was convicted released after 5 years. Canada rule of law, what a joke.
@@atntaltdfor all we know for Tredeu, they are Canadian citizens who are listed as terrorists in India.
That man took an oath to protect Indian intrest at all cost. It is comedic that she is trying to get information from him.He used to be a National Security Advisor.He is much aware of statements that may cause harm to his country.He is an expert in countering allegations tactfully.
Nope, what he is saying is true because he has lot of times criticised the government very harshlessly so I don’t think he is biased
Please explain to me why is an allegation by a white man all it takes to treat anything as a fact. Especially something as serious as extra-judicial killing. Is the bar for evidence this low in the West?
What, you didn't get what you wanted to hear ?
@@jogo798 what??
He may be saying the truth also
Some Australians think that Mr. Menon or India owes them some answers. They don't owe anything. It is upto the accuser to prove the allegations. It is called presumption of innocence, you dunderheads. And if Australians want to stand up for their cousins in Canada and automatically assume that the childish PM of Canada must be right because he made such a preposterous claim, Australians and Canadians can go frank themselves.
It’s the job of journalists to extract answers from politicians and there is nothing wrong with that. We all want answers and I don’t understand what you’re mad about.
@@Maratha382yeah sure Imagine a hypothetical situation and expect a deplomat to your question in yes or no? What kind of journalism is this? Jaishankar would've dealt better.
@@vikku_19 so? I don’t see what’s wrong with asking hypothetical questions.
@@vikku_19 she was actually quite soft. I like journalists who grills the guest on an interview. This way we can understand the reality of the guests when they are under pressure. Karan Thapar is one such example.
That sense of entitlement is the arrogance of the erstwhile colonists. They are yet to get over their privileged past. Time for them to wake up and smell the coffee. India is now the world’s most populous nation, largest democracy, fifth largest economy and poised to be the third in the next few years. India is yet another power centre of the current times.
Mr Menon , amazing clarity and precision in the middle of a high pressure interview!
not high pressure but comical because the anchor was making assumptions and hearsay as factual information which Menon saw through since he is sharp! also the confidence of the lady anchor on making these assumptions and talking points without knowing anything close to reality is astounding 😅
At some point soon the Canadian government will need to come up with something more than “trust us.”
Don't hear much from this guy. But it's always great to listen to him.
This lady is a rabid bulldog throwing all types of barking allegations but the seasoned diplomat came out unscathed😂
He is a seasoned diplomat from an aristocratic family where his uncle and a cousin were also INDIA's foreign secretaries in the past.
You can't extract juice from him..😂😂
News anchor must learn how Canadian Politics works and where the current government getting support from to run the government. Then she understands why Canadian PM made those comments in Parliament
You have nailed the crux of the matter...Bro'..!!😊❤
In their words the so called be politically right
India' s RAW has mandate to do only two things Research and Analysis of possible security issues for India. Nothing more.
Why discuss Indian involvement in the killing of Nijjar and not even looking at his links to other anti India organisations? He has committed crimes in India as an Indian citizen and ran away to Canada to avoid arrest.
He had police clearance when he left India so he was clean
@@gsgill3144 That is false! With Simranjit Singh Mann selling letters, falsely alleging mistreatment of Sikhs by Indian govt, to these people who then fly under false names and produce the letters to the foreign govts to obtain asylum. Nijjar left India under a false ID!
@@rapinderdhanjal4453 so that was a failure of India authorities and why didn’t Indian ask Canadian government to hand him over back to India ? There’s no proof that they did
@@gsgill3144 Indian govt has provided a list of most wanted criminals to Canadian govt but they have turned a blind eye! What hope is there of them doing anything when they didn’t take any action on the terrorists who blew up the Indian airline killing over 300 people with over 200 Canadian citizens? India’s asked for their extradition but nothing happened!
@@gsgill3144

This was a terrible interview. I hope he was a better nsa than came across in this interview.
@@kth6736 He cant even defend RAW. Like a real traitor
@@reincarnatedmosquito I thought he defended R&AW pretty well. That was sophistication and class.
The reporter is a Karen who thinks she is too smart by half....and gets a timely reminder that she is intellectually innocent!
Is she a lawyer or reporter. 😂
@saewha meaning Candian PM never lie or play with words.
If anyone calls it unbiased reporter, I laugh at their level of knowledge.
@@saurabhade1079😂😂😂😂 Disgruntled employee????
Journalist : since trudeau announced this in parliament he must have some evidence right ?
Him : he hasn't presented any evidence
Journalist : then let's just assume he has evidence ok.
"that's a big assumption"
Ha.
I burst out laughing when he said that hahaha
@@Whoisthis1111 yes I doubt I'm aligned with him politically, ideologically - but game respects game
Its like if anyone says Australia harbour terrorist.
@@saurabhade1079that's a "big assumption* dude🤔🤣
By god the way she is trying to make him speak what she wants is literally amazing me on the issue of Canada. This is not journalism she is there just for make her assumptions true and to propagate her propaganda 😂.
US had credible evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq 😂😂😂😂😂
Just 1 simple question to Justine Trudeau - What kind of rule of law country Canada is if you not able to find out and convicted any one in past 30 years for Air India bombing incidents which is the largest terrorist attack in Canada so far ?
Is this rule of law are for safeguarding the rights of terrorist, separatist, extremists, radical, gangster and criminals in the name of freedom of speech and expression ? (By the way this is not a question, its to examine above question)
Canada is a joke and Justinder is the joker
His Voice is so calm and uniform in its tone.
Well handled Mr Menon.
Man this guy is a PRO
he was terrible
And who the hell are you??
you can fool a commoner but not a diplomat
She was trying to push western propaganda.
But she don't know,who she is dealing with!!
She tries to act oversmart,but Indian burecrats are the finest among the world.
And don't try to mess with them or the indian government.
We are friendly ,if you are not poking us and minding your own business.
We see the world as family. But when there is a need to show ,
Who the real dad is !!
It's the time we show up !
Tell me, how does a murder investigation implicate an entire nation and its government? A murder investigation falls under local jurisdiction and it involves the activities of real people. The police from the local precinct gather evidence and build a case for why person A murdered person B. This case is prosecuted before a court of law and justice is served. This is how the justice sysem works in all civilized countries. This is how it has worked for over 2000 years of Western Civilization. Instead, Canadian prime minister has sought to leverage the Nijjar murder case to implicate an entire nation and its government. There is no legal basis for doing that.
I wish Jai Shankar would talk to her… it would be a great watch 😅
She will be shamed to extent she will regret journalism she practised until now.
She has no guts to ask any one of these questions Western countries especially the US , these countries are just puppets of the USA 😂
They have no independence, as long as the USA is doing well, it is good for them, if not 🚫 citizens will revolut and it will head in a different direction.
cheap class women who is parroting trudeau.
First stop anti jew protest in Sydney
He is more professional than top corporate company top people
there r videos of nijjar firing Ak 47 just like osma. By that logic wasn't osma a citizen of some country.
An idea(narrative) is being floated of an rogue element operating without the oversight of Govt. would be what a dignified exit for the govt?
Peak of stupidity.
Let the concerned authorities investigation. And in the meantime keep your assumptions aside. Unlike some people's beliefs, India doesn't intervene or violate another nation's sovereignty.
Proud to be indian🇮🇳 ❤
why 🤨
@@NathanCroucherIndians today are generally very proud people. Its very different from how it used to be only 20 years back. Its maybe a combination of a few factors like strong economic growth alongside poverty alleviation for hundreds of millions who were able to enter the middle classes and India's growing influence on the global stage. We still have a long way to go in order to increase our per capita gdp to atleast as high as a middle income nation and a motivated and proud nation of people are important to achieve that
@@NathanCroucherwhy not?
For what?
@@Squashed8Ballit’s cringe
Why don't they ask Canada how come a person with a warrant against him gets citizenship after being denied
Sir, I did catch up with your address at the lowy institute. It was both insightful & remarkable as always. If this comment reaches you can I ask since you said there has been no mandatory agreement on any transnational issue in decades, whether the COP would fall into it ?
She is Trudeau's Lawyer
I get a feel of karan tapar by looking at her interview. Who just think everyone else is dumb abd they are only smart ones 😂
Full of asinine questions assuming a lot of unwarranted stuff showing tremendous bias on the part of the interviewer who appears rude and interrupts all too often without reason. Sounds almost racist to me exhibiting a clear attitude like 'We can trust X but not you.'
Audio levels far too low
Hello...does australia monitor people inimical to its security ???
The least they could do is show the video footage or present a series of footage like the Jamal Khashoggi episode.
How can one expect the accused to participate in an investigation against itself? Doesn't this become a conflict of interest??
OMG she is worried about RAW monitoring Aussie blokes...not much to monitor there actually
3:32 why this should be taken seriously is because a 'prime minister of a democratic country has made this statement in parliament'???! Thats exactly why it shouldnt be taken seriously, because in democracies politicians have to make grandios statements to get attention.
I don't think this lady or any white person need to interview any Indian to know about indian perspective or views , because that all going to be waste of time as they are arrogant enough to call nijjer a SIKH ACTIVISTS (THUMBNAIL). These ignorant colonial mindsets low iq people won't even consider to use ACCUSED TERRORIST, in their cover story and want Indian option. As long as you will consider TERRORIST as ACTIVISTS both nations will never have a good relationship. I would really like her to do an interview to Israel or American and ask them why they kills hammas or isis activists. Once a my college prof said that thank god 9/11 happened so these Western media and govt acknowledged that terrorism is a global issue.
It's so sweet to see the Canadians being aggressive. lol. Mr Menon (pun intended) grew up in a household where every woman he met was more fiesty and vigorous than the wonderful lady in this inerview. Let's fix this guys. Let's have peace and smooth functioning. do away with the secessionist stuff.
This is the Australian government's funded media.
CBC is the Canadian government's propaganda arm.
can someone please answer million million-dollar question, is there any evidence shared?
These are sensitive issues and both sides should have kept in strictly confidential and not make it public in Parliament Hill
The gulf between the intellects of S Menon and the ABC is huge which is not surprising. She is crass, abrasive, and aggressive while Mr. Menon is suave, polished, and polite.
ccanadian foreign minister said, it's "violation of law" not some past precedent or international norms, can she specify at least one. But then, what can be expected from her when she answers a simple question on providing evidence by discussing allegations with Indian MEA staff. while India state ARTICLE 11.1 of Vienna CONVENTION for asking PARITY in diplomatic staf, she continued on the rant of violation without any proof.
Good interview. As we showed to Patty Cummins and his boys the other night, it'll take a lot more to put us down
President of a country had also claimed WMDs and the entire Western World jumped into a war!
Here is what people do not appreciate:
Mr. Nijjar entered Canada allegedly on a forged passport, was rejected for refugee status on the basis of a sham marriage etc. etc. Allegedly of course.
Mr. Nijjar was operating a training camp on Canadian soil on the use of AK-47s which are banned in Canada, again allegedly, but there is video footage. Can't confirm if the camps were in B.C. or elsewhere in Canada.
Who were the potential victims of these trainees? Indian citizens on Indian soil?
And Trudeau alleges that the Government of India struck preemptively... eh?
The more likely scenario is that it resulted from (alleged) gang rivalry.
This is not the first time Indian and Canadian Citizens have died as a result of Canadian Government's inaction on extradition requests from India, a Commonwealth Nation which should have been treated on par with its "5 EYES" partners..
Pierre Trudeau's in action cost the lives of of 329 Indian and Canadian Citizens and two Japanese baggage handlers in a separate terror act in Tokyo.
Why am I the only one making this case against Canadian PM of the past 52 years, not just Justin Trudeau?
Let's not be cynical, or stupid.
The Indian Government's job is to protect the homeland and its citizens from any and all foreign and domestic threats.
NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE!
No different from the US Government's, first and foremost duty; which is to the Republic and its citizenry.
Or the Canadian Government's... the UK, AU, NZ's etc.
She really thought she would do something here. All those questions based only on assumptions, she would feel embarrassed when she will watch it later.
Calm and collected.
Firstly take away Sikh Activist from the title, he was a declared teroorist in Indai who fled to Canada.
This shows the mindset of the interviewer. Just because it suits them, they will doubt what the Indian Foreign Minister has said on the subject, but will agree with the hogwash by Justinder.
NOW only two options are available for canada :- 1. Substantiate your claim/allegation with PUBLICLY PUBLISHING CREDIBLE EVIDENCE with a CONVICTION from a court of law using this published evidence. 2. OR ELSE, APOLOGISE PUBLICLY to the GOVT OF INDIA and its people under lack of CONVICTION FROM A COURT OF LAW. ................OR ELSE, INDIA will exercise its full might to PUNISH trudeau and its govt responsible for this DEBACLE.
I am no modi supporter. But Problem with these anglo racist journalists is they are raised in an environment both socially,professionally that they think they were superior to India. So when we challenge these countries economically there will be allegations like that. And problem with likes of Shivsankar Menon is they are too gentlemanly,soft. Untill you treat these leftist woke reporters in their language like S jaishankar does, humiliate them with facts, speak to them with manners that are both gentlemanly, also ruthless and hardhitting.
As someone who has much respect for Dr. Jaishankar, I believe the likes of Shivshankar Menon are also needed. He took on the interviewer perfectly; he did not bare his fangs but made clear to her that she was operating on assumptions.
Like the name of the news channel, their questions are random and baseless
The reporter assumed so widely!
This is a hyperbole statement
The interviewer has not patience to listen ..but is desperate to push her point .
please interview your PM to ask evidence
Let's work on the assumption based on the fact????😮😮😮
He must be amazed now
It's good to see RAW has become so powerful that world media love to talk about it.
What is proof that these acttvists are not agent of Australian government masquerading as activist. Can offical dossier be shared when asked for..
God I love Shivshankar Menon
Is it possible that members in the diaspora posed threats to indian community in Australia, e.g., temples, civilians and indian missions ?
Lady U have evidence show else take a hike.
I don’t understand why the guy is giving her any time.
Let make assumption and take interview. This is called non sense journalism
Who is this guy?
He retired in 2014 … India has changed completely after 2014 when the nationalist Hindutva govt came about
The journalist is soo irritating..."let's just assume that pm is operating on good evidence". Why would anyone assume anything on such a big accusation when there's no clear evidence. She is so onesided that it's getting on my nerves. It's literally an accusation of murder not some doll play that anyone would assume that they've murdered someone without evidence. Everyone is just crazy on even acting on such a big accusation without any proven facts, they just need scoops and drama at this point. Like use your brain a little please.
Nice... Interview..
Interviewer needs some patience to listen what the other person is saying.
Has the Canadian PM provided the evidence to the Indian Government?
If the news reader believes and also wants us to rely on the statement of Trudeau a democratically elected leader, why we should not extend similar courtesy to the statement of largest democratic government!
Clearly biased interviewer who tried to hide her bias 😂
Look at the condescending tone she adapts
Instead of accusing India of killing, Canada should be accused for harboring terrorist
Nijjar was as much an activist as bin laden and al baghdadi...
He seems to be very defensive and meek. He never raised the issue of khalistan to the reporter
Activist? They collaborate with ISI and do Anti India work.
Who modi ?
Sarah is so naive. She wants to know if spies are spying! I mean I pity her 😂
Why should anyone give credibility to Trudeau, just because he is the PM of Canada ! aha.ah..LOL...
Canada is a joke. Kangaroos need to focus on their own biz.
All follow the King's orders. Not really free.
Assume the PM wouldn't put his reputation on the line unless..... Ha ha, you funny. Pay more attention to the Canadian policy circus and recurring 'scandals'.
Played dumb till 06:08
Became well informed intellectual after 06:10
Australians are not that dumb.
After watching this video, I have the following questions to the show host in her own style.
1. Is it true that you have already taken a side & expect answers that match your expectation?
2. Is it possible in this modern day to believe that intelligence agency of any country including Aus (ASIS) wouldn't atleast try to spy on certain "individuals of interest" regardless of where they live?
Of course yes we are all being spied on by more than one country. Most of us don't care because, honestly we don't care. Let them see everything in my phone/computer. As long as those countries don't take money away from me, I don't care.
Very nice discussion by Mr. Siva Shankar Menon. He supported India and it MEA. He so nicely supported Jaya Shankar, and his actions !!. This is called matured officials comments. Why the politicians, like Rahul, of Congress, behave and support Indian Government, on national interest of India !!. Surely, Rahul should learn from Mr. Menon. But uneducated Rahul, may not be able to understand. He talks rubbish about India, all the time.
I haven't come across similar instances like the one which cost Nijjar his life. There haven't been incidents of terrorism in the Punjab in India. Did Nijjar belong to a gang in Canada, with connections to India? I don't think that the Canadian authorities have a clue about how Nijjar was killed. He must have antagonised people in Canada due to his outspokenness, and made enemies. However, there doesn't seem to be violence happening within the Indian community there, and it seems that Canadians are generally law abiding citizens who eschew violence. Nijjar didn't speak of threats to his life to others, either, it seems. Perhaps, the Canadian PM wants the assistance of India on the matter, but it is very unusual of the Canadian PM taking so much of interest in a solitary murder case. Perhaps, the Sikh diaspora wants answers as to why and how Nijjar was killed, and there are none. The Canadian authorities don't seem to have a clue as to why anyone in Canada would want to kill Nijjar, but it doesn't seem as if someone from India went to Canada to kill him either. Perhaps, the Canadian diplomatic mission in India was involved in trying to find answers, which was beyond their brief. It's very unusual for Canada to pursue the matter as it is doing. If the Canadian PM thinks that Indian agents are behind the incident, what reason do they see for the same? A Khalistani separatist called Pannu called for the bombing of an Air India flight. How were the calls for violence by Osama bin Laden different from this? Is the difference that no one heeded Pannu's call to bomb an Indian passenger aircraft?
SHOW THE HARD EVIDENCE AND THEN ASK FOR COOPERATION
My security agency doesn't need approval of anyone to keep me and my country safe.
It is not the Sikh diaspora; it is the Khalistani diaspora. Don't point Sikh on it.
Menon looks like he is related to the great Swami Chimayananda Saraswatee.He carries the surname. I wonder?
