Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to India for the G20 summit in 2023.
The report by Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was aware of the plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. However, the Indian government completely rejected the Canadian newspaper’s report. This was also termed as a conspiracy to defame India.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said: “We generally do not comment on media reports, but such ‘absurd’ and ridiculous statements should be dismissed as they deserve.
Jaiswal also said that such a false statement would further damage our already strained relations.
Claim in report – Doval and Jaishankar also had information
The Canadian newspaper also claims that Canadian security agencies suspect that Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar also had prior knowledge of the plot.
This is the first time in the Nijjar murder case that allegations have been leveled directly against Prime Minister Modi. However, the report also claims that the Canadian government has no concrete evidence on this.
PM Modi and Trudeau met at G20 summit
Prime Minister Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were seen talking to each other during the group photo of the G20 summit.
Earlier, during the G20 summit in Brazil, a photo of Prime Minister Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was taken together, after which it was believed that this could begin to melt the ice in the relations between the two countries.
However, the day after this meeting, the Trudeau government increased security checks on passengers coming to India. For this reason, passengers must undergo strict security checks at the airport. According to the Canadian news agency CBC, authorities have not given any reason to justify the increased security checks.
Nijjar was murdered while leaving the Gurudwara.
On the evening of June 18, 2023, Nijjar was shot dead as he left a Gurudwara in the city of Surrey. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau had accused the Indian government of being involved in Nijjar’s killing, which India rejected.
After this, relations between the two countries became very tense. Foreign Minister Jaishankar had said that Canada was granting visas to those who are wanted in India. He had said: “People associated with organized crime in Punjab are welcome in Canada. »
At the same time, the Parliament of Canada paid tribute to Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar one year after his assassination. For this, a minute of silence was observed in Parliament.
