India has officially requested proof from Canada regarding their allegations of Indian involvement in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This request comes in response to Canada’s accusations that India may have been involved in the killing, a claim that India vehemently denies.
The Hindustan Times report highlights the escalating diplomatic tension between the two nations. Canada’s accusations, made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have strained relations significantly. Trudeau alleged that intelligence indicated a possible link between India and the killing, prompting India to demand concrete evidence to support these claims.
The murder of Nijjar, a prominent figure in the Khalistan movement, occurred in June 2023 in Canada. He was a known supporter of the separatist movement seeking an independent Sikh state in Punjab, India. The incident has fueled tensions between India and Canada, particularly after Canada’s accusations against India.
India has maintained its innocence, emphasizing that it does not engage in extrajudicial killings. The government has called for a thorough investigation into the murder, urging Canada to share any evidence they may have to support their allegations. The demand for proof marks a significant escalation in the diplomatic standoff, with both nations attempting to maintain their respective positions amidst accusations and denials.
