The NIA’s move comes after hostilities between India and Canada rose after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. On June 18, Nijjar, a designated terrorist in India, was killed outside a Gurdwara in a parking lot in Canada’s Surrey, British Columbia.
The controversy around Nijjar’s murder recently erupted after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on September 18 accused India of killing the Khalistani terrorist on Canadian soil. Without providing any proof, Trudeau claimed that Canada is pursuing “credible information” about Indian agents being involved in Nijjar’s killing. After the bizarre statement by Trudeau, Canada expelled one Indian diplomat over it, the Indian government rejected all of Canada’s allegations. In a swift response, the Ministry of External Affairs stated that any allegation of India’s involvement in Nijjar’s killing is ‘absurd and motivated’.
