Aakhir Tak – In Depth
A recently surfaced letter written by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of Sikhs for Justice, to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stirred further controversy between India and Canada. The letter demanded the expulsion of India’s High Commissioner, Sanjay Kumar Verma, for his alleged role in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Pannun described Nijjar as a “peace-loving” and “law-abiding Canadian citizen,” a statement India rejects, as Nijjar was designated as a terrorist by Indian authorities.
This revelation comes amidst a worsening diplomatic conflict between the two nations. Trudeau accused India of being involved in Nijjar’s murder, which has caused growing tensions. The Canadian government has named Verma and other Indian diplomats as ‘persons of interest’ in their investigation, complicating the situation further. India, on the other hand, has refuted these allegations and insists that no concrete evidence has been provided to support them.
