Hardeep Singh Nijjar

Justin Trudeau had on September 18 made an explosive allegation of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in Surrey in British Columbia on June 18.

As tensions rise between both countries, Canada, despite being aware of Nijjar's criminal history, is trying to convince the world that Nijjar was only a religious leader.

In Canada, many Sikhs expressed their solidarity with the Khalistan cause and condemned the Indian government's actions.

Canadian MP Chandra Arya has alleged that extremist elements are targeting Hindu-Canadians, urging them to return to India.

The statement from the Congress MP came amidst tensions in India-Canada relations after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged that the Indian government was behind the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India swiftly rejected these charges as "absurd" and "motivated," leading to the expulsion of a senior Canadian diplomat by India, mirroring Ottawa's earlier expulsion of an Indian official.

Apart from a couple of factors, it's primarily the 'K' factor belonging to the anti-India movement of Khalistan from the deck of Canada. Thus, their 'geo-political' balance against India by anti-India forces across the globe appears to be at play..

This situation highlights the diplomatic challenges faced by the Biden administration and its allies as they attempt to navigate relations with India, a crucial player in the region, the report noted.
