The Canadian government on Sunday sent a message to India that Indian Ambassador Sanjay Kumar Verma and several diplomats are suspected in the investigation of a case. It is not yet clear which case they are suspects in, but it is being linked to Nijjar's murder.
India's Ministry of External Affairs has described Canada's allegations as politically motivated. The Ministry of External Affairs said that the Government of India completely rejects these absurd allegations and considers the reason behind them to be the Trudeau government's political agenda, motivated by vote bank politics.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was assassinated on 18 June 2023. In September, Canada's PM blamed India for the murder.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made some allegations in September 2023. However, the Canadian government has not shared a single piece of evidence with the Indian government despite repeated requests. This new allegation has been made in a similar manner.
The Foreign Ministry said the Trudeau government has been doing this for a long time. His cabinet includes individuals who are associated with extremist and separatist agendas against India.
PM Trudeau accused India of killing Nijjars Nijjar was shot dead on the evening of June 18, 2023 while leaving a gurudwara in Surrey, Canada. On September 18 last year, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing of Nijjar, which India denied.
After this, on May 3, three accused of Nijjar's murder were arrested. All three accused are Indians. Canadian police said police had been monitoring him for several months. They believe that India assigned them the task of killing Nijjars. India then said in this matter that this is an internal matter of Canada.
PM Trudeau claimed to have met PM Modi Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday that he met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the East Asia Summit in Laos. Trudeau said that important issues to be worked on were discussed during the meeting.
“I emphasized that we have some work to do,” Trudeau said at a press conference in Laos.
However, according to Indian media house NDTV, sources in the Ministry of External Affairs denied the meeting and said that no such meeting took place between the two leaders.
