The Canadian PM, who spoiled relations by speaking against India, is now surrounded by his own words. He has admitted that he only had intelligence when he alleged that Indian government agents were involved in the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year. He clearly said that there is no concrete evidence. Trudeau made the comments while testifying on the subject of public scrutiny of foreign interference in electoral processes and democratic institutions. The special thing is that recently both the countries have removed their diplomats and relations between India and Canada have become tense.
Trudeau claimed that Indian diplomats were gathering information about Canadians who disagree with the Narendra Modi-led government and passing it on to the highest levels of the Indian government. He also mentioned criminal organizations like Lawrence Bishnoi Gang. “I was made aware of the fact that there was intelligence from Canada, and possibly from members of the Five Eyes, that made it clear that India was involved,” Trudeau said. Agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil. The Prime Minister of Canada said this is something his government takes very seriously.
We don't have solid evidence…
Five Eyes Network is an intelligence organization of five countries including America, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. “India did indeed do this and we have reason to believe that they did,” Trudeau said. The PM said that his government's immediate vision is to work on this with the Government of India so that accountability can be fixed. Recalling the G20 summit hosted by India in September last year, he said that it was a big occasion for India and if Canada had made these allegations public at that time, it would have been a very awkward situation for India at the summit. Could have.
“We decided not to do that,” he said. We decided to continue working behind the scenes so that India can support us. Trudeau said that the Indian side asked for evidence and our answer was that it is with your security agencies. Trudeau said that but Indian parties insisted on evidence. And at that time it was primarily classified information, he said. No concrete evidence. So we said let's work together and look at your security services and maybe we can make it work.
Trudeau said that we started an investigation. Due to these allegations and our investigation, India intensified its attacks on us. Canadian sovereignty and people were targeted, many Canadian diplomats in India were expelled. He said this is a situation where we now have a clear and certainly very clear indication that India has violated Canada's sovereignty.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Monday said they have evidence that six Indian diplomats were involved in an alleged plot to kill Nijjar in June 2023. He also alleged that the Bishnoi gang is linked to agents of the Indian government. Which specifically targets pro-Khalistan elements in the country. India strongly rejected attempts by Canadian authorities to link Indian agents to criminal groups in Canada. India rejected Canada's claim that Canada had shared evidence with India in the Nijjar case.
