Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has once again accused Government of India agents of being involved in the killing of Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau is seeking cooperation from New Delhi on the investigation into the matter. These allegations were previously rejected by India, which called them “absurd” and “politically driven.”
Trudeau emphasized the importance of the allegations, stating, “There are credible reasons to believe that agents of the Government of India were involved in the killing of a Canadian on Canadian soil.” He also highlighted the significance of upholding the rule of law and the international rules-based order.
During a direct and frank conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trudeau expressed his concerns about the issue and called on the Government of India to take it seriously. He emphasized the need for transparency, accountability, and justice in this matter.
In response to Canada’s allegations, India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move after Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
Trudeau assured that Canada has a rigorous and independent justice system that will follow the appropriate processes with utmost integrity. He also stated that the decision to share these allegations was made seriously and not taken lightly.
These developments have sparked a diplomatic row between Canada and India. The two countries have been at odds over various issues, including alleged interference in internal affairs and the support of Khalistan terrorists.
As the investigation unfolds, both countries will continue to work towards ensuring the safety of their citizens and upholding their respective values and the international rules-based order.
