Regardless if the guy deserved it or not, killing them in a country you are supposed to be on good terms with is not the way to go about it.
At this point India is barely even trying to hide it.
Also, the guy in question was a Canadian citizen.
That doesn't really matter. What matters is that he was in Canada at the time.
Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, and then later in Pakistan. The US didn't inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him. Nijjar was wanted for the murder of 6 innocent people in a cinema hall bombing in Punjab, India.
As in, was a suspect? I assume he was never tried?
Yes, the US gets to throw their weight around because nobody wants to go to war against them. It doesn't make it right.
