The Dhaka Times Desk Amid ongoing tensions between India and Canada, Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official of the United States Defense Headquarters, has said that he will be on India's side this time.
He feels that if the US were asked to choose between Canada and India, Washington would definitely choose Delhi. Indian news agency ANI said this in a report.
The former official also said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations against India could endanger Ottawa more than Delhi. India is more strategically important to the US than Canada. He also mentioned that the kind of fight that Canada is engaged in against India is like the fight of ants against elephants.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar went to Canada in 1977 from Jalandhar in the Indian state of Punjab. Later he acquired the citizenship there.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, was also a top leader of India's pro-Khalistan separatist group Khalistan Tiger Force and the Canadian branch of Sikhs for Justice. On June 18, he was killed by an assailant in front of a Gurudwara in Vancouver, the capital of the British Columbia province of the country.
Then on the same day, after a speech by the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the Parliament of Canada, diplomatic tension between Ottawa and Delhi began.
The United States is uncomfortable with this recent tension between the two countries. The reason is that Canada is one of the developed world's closest allies of the United States in international politics. On the other hand, India is the most important ally and strategic partner of the United States in the South Asian region.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
