India-Canada relations: The Canadian government is now on the back foot in the Khalist. terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar murder case. The Government of Canada has issued a statement. In which he said, ‘There is no evidence of the role of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other high officials in any kind of criminal activity in Canada, including the murder of Khalist. terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.’
Government of Canada clarification
The Canadian government clarified that, ‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval have no role in any kind of criminal activity in the country. This clarification has been made after a report published in a Canadian newspaper. In which it was claimed that India had allegedly conspired to assassinate Nijjar. But now the Canadian government has distanced itself from the allegations and clarified that it has found no evidence to support the allegations. The media report in this regard is completely false and suspicious.
India also rejected this report
This report was also rejected by India. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, ‘We generally do not comment on media reports. However, such ridiculous statements made by a Canadian government source to a newspaper should be dismissed with the same contempt. Causing further damage to our already strained relations.
