Ottawa:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday stated they are aiming to function constructively with the Indian federal government in the probe right into the killing of assigned terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

According to Canada-based Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC), Mr Trudeau was asked, “How is India’s cooperation shaping up on the assassination investigations of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar when Canada has credible allegations and India expects Canada to complete its own investigation first?”

The Canadian PM reacted stating, “The killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is something that we all should take extremely seriously.”

“The credible allegations that agents of the Indian government were involved in–that is something that we did not declare lightly, but our responsibility to protect all Canadians from illegal actions by foreign governments is something that, as a country grounded in diversity, we need to take very seriously,” he included.

India has earlier refuted the fees as unjustified.

Mr Trudeau stated the Canadian federal government is making sure proper probe is being done, according to a video clip shared by the CPAC.

“That’s why we have been unequivocal about standing up for the rule of law and ensuring that the appropriate investigations are being done in full accordance with our justice system and our police independence,” the Canadian PM stated.

Moreover, he stated they are functioning constructively with the Indian federal government to obtain to the base of this issue.

“At the same time, we are working. We’re looking to work constructively with the government of India to get to the bottom of this, to understand how this could have happened, and to make sure that no Canadians are ever vulnerable again to foreign interference by any international power,” he included.

Nijjar, that was assigned a terrorist by the National Investigation Agency in 2020, was fired and eliminated as he appeared of a Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on the night of June 18, 2023.

Trudeau had actually declared the Indian federal government’s function in Nijjar’s killing, a cost that India denied and brought about the wear and tear of polite connections in between both nations.

India has actually denied the accusations as “absurd and motivated”.
