NEW DELHI: Canada‘s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a recent interview, said that his statement on the House of Commons which linked Indian agents to the killing of pro-Khalistani figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar was meant to deter India from continuing such action in the Canada.
In a recent interview with the agency Candadian Press, Trudeau said, “We felt that all the quiet diplomacy and all the measures that we put in, and ensured that our security services put in to keep people safe in the community, needed a further level of deterrence, perhaps of saying publicly and loudly that we know, or we have credible reasons to believe, that the Indian government was behind this.”
“And, therefore, put a chill on them continuing or considering doing anything like this,” he added.
Trudeau also said the statement was made because too many Canadians were worried that they were vulnerable.
During the interview, the Canadian Prime Minister also indicated that Canada will reveal evidence concerning Nijjar’s killing on June 18 in Surrey by the end of this year. Trudeau also said that Canada intends to reveal evidence “very much in the fashion the US did when we reach those points in the investigation”.
It is notable that the Indian Government has formed a high-level probe committee into the American charges, but Ottawa failed to comply with the requests. According to Indian Government, the US provided it with specific inputs while Canada failed to do so.
Last week, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said in the parliament, “So the question of equitable treatment to two countries, one of whom has provided inputs and one of whom has not, does not arise.”
Additional, Trudeau also said that he raised the Nijjar issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the G20 summit in New Delhi, but the conversation did not proved to be productive.
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also blamed India of launching an information war and ridiculed Indian media for attacking and undermining Canada with misinformation and disinformation.
Citing the indictment in a US federal court of an Indian national to an alleged plot to kill Sikhs for Justice or SFJ general counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and why Canada has not made similar information public, Trudeau said, “Canada is investigating a murder and there are different stakes involved in that and our justice system has different processes.” But, he said, that was “unfolding”.
The ministry of external affairs has yet to respond to Trudeau’s recent remarks.
