When he was asked about India's cooperation in the investigation of the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, he said that we are taking the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil very seriously.

“There are credible allegations that Indian agents are involved,” he said. This is something we do not take lightly. “We have a responsibility to protect all Canadians from the illegal actions of foreign governments.”

Trudeau said the Canadian government is ensuring that the matter is properly investigated. “We look forward to working constructively with the Indian government to get to the bottom of this matter,” the Canadian PM said. “Intervention by any foreign or international power.”

It is noteworthy that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had alleged that the Indian government had a hand in Nijjar's murder. However, India rejected these allegations. Due to this the political relations between the two countries deteriorated. According to reports, a video was released this month in which it was said that Nijjar was shot dead by a contract killer. In 2020, India's NIA declared Nijjar a terrorist. In June last year, he was shot dead near a Gurudwara on the outskirts of British Columbia.
