According to a recent intelligence report, it is alleged that Hardeep Singh Nijjar received training in Pakistan and supported terrorist activities within India.
In recent India-Canada news updates, fresh tensions have erupted between the two nations this week, sparked by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s explosive allegations of potential involvement by Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia on June 18. It’s worth noting that India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
India swiftly and strongly rejected these allegations, deeming them “absurd” and “motivated.” In response, India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat, mirroring Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian official over the same case.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged India to cooperate with Canada to ensure “accountability” in the Nijjar case.
Trudeau, on his part, reiterated his call for India’s cooperation in the investigation. However, India has responded by downsizing its diplomatic staff and suspending visa services in retaliation.
These are the most recent developments in this significant story.
