Canada has officially designated the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terror entity amid ongoing diplomatic tensions with India. This development, occurring shortly before Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand's planned visit to India, highlights the complex interplay between organized crime, allegations of transnational repression, and the ongoing dispute regarding Khalistani separatism. Both nations face the challenge of reconciling divergent security priorities while attempting to rebuild diplomatic relations in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
