Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged on Wednesday that his government did not provide India with hard proof regarding the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. While testifying before the country’s foreign interference inquiry, Trudeau stated that Canada only possessed intelligence and did not have actual evidence. He remarked, “Canada asked India to cooperate. Their (India’s) ask was for proof.”

Trudeau elaborated that upon returning from the G20 Summit, it was apparent that the Indian government’s stance was to criticize Canada’s democratic integrity. He reiterated his allegations that Indian agents were involved in Nijjar’s murder, naming gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in his testimony. Recent charges indicated that Indian diplomats were gathering intelligence to target members of the pro-Khalistan movement in Canada.

Following Canada’s accusations against Indian diplomats, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a sharp statement claiming that Canada had not shared any shred of evidence linking India to Nijjar’s death. In response, New Delhi recalled its top envoy to Ottawa and expelled six Canadian diplomats from the country, escalating the ongoing diplomatic row.
