Share Proof Regarding Nijjar Rather Than Accusations, India Advises Canada

The Indian government has swiftly responded to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim that India was complicit in the murder of Canadian citizen and terrorist Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) member Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 19 in Surrey, Vancouver. India has asked Ottawa for proof, offered to assist with the investigation, and informed its important allies about the falsity of Trudeau’s claim as well as Canada’s tolerance and support of terrorists and sedition.

Senior authorities claim that the response—which spans a number of areas—comes after a meeting of senior national security and foreign ministry officials on Wednesday morning at the new Parliament building. This answer can be read as a demand that Canada prove the accusations made against Indian spy agencies. In another instance, it has taken the shape of a diplomatic note to Ottawa indicating that India is prepared to assist the Canadian probe, pending the availability of the relevant evidence.

Thirdly, it has taken the form of a communication from the nation’s national security planners to Australia and the US, two of India’s most important Western allies, claiming that the allegations against Indian intelligence agencies are untrue and driven solely by local political considerations.

Jagmeet Singh, a supporter of the New Democratic Party of Khalistan, backs the minority Trudeau administration. The Indian diaspora in Canada should not become split between Sikhs and Hindus, and Indians and persons of Indian heritage should remain protected. To that end, New Delhi is also putting strategies and systems in place.

India has already refuted Trudeau’s accusations

The officials, who declined to give their names, claimed that S. Jaishankar, India’s external affairs minister, will further clarify India’s position while in New York on September 23 to attend the United Nations General Assembly and may then travel to Washington, D.C. on a bilateral basis after giving a speech at the UNGA on September 26.
