The Trudeau government has firmly denied allegations that it linked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Officials described such claims as “speculative and inaccurate,” attempting to dispel the growing controversy.
Background: Nijjar Murder and Rising Tensions
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Sikh leader and Canadian citizen, was killed in British Columbia in June 2023. His death has fueled diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, with some sources speculating about possible connections to Indian officials.
Trudeau’s Stance on the Allegations
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clarified that his government is committed to investigating Nijjar’s murder thoroughly. He emphasized that while the government is exploring every angle, no direct evidence implicates Indian officials.
India’s Firm Rebuttal
The Indian government has categorically rejected any involvement in the Nijjar case. India’s Ministry of External Affairs called the accusations baseless, asserting that such allegations undermine bilateral relations.
Moving Forward Amid Diplomatic Strain
As both nations face heightened scrutiny over their relations, Trudeau’s government aims to steer the narrative toward constructive diplomacy. “We must ensure the facts are clear before drawing conclusions,” an official statement reiterated.
