External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has criticised Canada s decision to issue visas to people with links to organised crime, despite warnings from New Delhi. He stated that some Canadians with "pro-Pakistan leanings" have organized themselves politically and become an influential political lobby. Jaishankar criticized the rise of pro-Khalistactivities in Canada and the arrest of three Indians over their alleged involvement in the killing of India-designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Jagmeet Singh s NDP has supported the Liberal minority government led by Justin Trudeau in exchange for support on some key bills. After the Canadian Police announced the arrest of three accused in the killing of Hardep Nijjar, Jagmeet Singh claimed that there was an Indian hand in the same.
Canadian police have arrested three Indian nationals in connection with the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated terrorist by India, in June 2023. The suspects, residents of Edmonton city in Alberta, have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. While investigations are ongoing, there is no confirmed evidence linking the suspects to the government of India. The killing had sparked diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, with India denying any involvement. The RCMP emphasized the active nature of the investigation and its commitment to uncovering the truth.
India condemns Trudeau s remarks on Hardeep Singh Nijjar s killing, criticizing Canada s tolerance towards separatism. The comments have strained India-Canada relations, with India objecting to the support for Khalistani separatists.
