Well i wouldnt go as far. Jamal Khassogi was an innocent journalist, even in Saudi Arabia he wasnt accused of terrorism.. and the brutality/manner in which he was killed was another thing. I doubt Khashoggi affair would have such publicity if he had simply been shot in the street. On the other hand this man who has been assassinated even if one doesnt believe he had a hand in any terror attacks no one denies that he’s a notorious figure. The fact that India actually believes he’s a terrorist mastermind makes all the difference. Now if Modi tomorrow assasinates a guy living in Canada who has been dissing him, that would be a Khassogi moment.
But you are right, Modi is drunk on cowpee and power right now and doesnt realize that India needs west way more than the other way around. If tomorrow US and China make ammends India would be sidelined and no one would give a shit about it. Unfortunately him and his supporters have superpower delusions even though India has 600 million shitting in the street, wins gold in hunger olympics every year and millions of Indians would sell(and do sell) their holy cows for a Canadian visa.
