Justin Trudeau alleged on Wednesday that there were «clear indications» that India violated Canada's sovereignty. His remarks were made during an inquiry into alleged foreign interference, which highlighted what he described as illegal activities by representatives of the Indian government against Canadian citizens. «We had clear and certainly now ever clearer indications that India had violated Canada's sovereignty,» Trudeau stated, drawing attention to a recent Canadian police investigation that implicated Indian diplomats in a «campaign of violence.»

Justin Trudeau is finding it hard to convince Canadians about India's alleged link to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in Canada last year. His latest move to brand Indian High Commissioner to Canada as a «person of interest» in the Nijjar probe comes with the same vague allegations he made against India last year. "...we started to understand through intelligence agencies that India was possibly if not probably, behind Nijjar's killing...," Trudeau said on Monday, while accusing the Indian government of supporting criminal activities in Canada. «Possibly if not probably» is same as the claim of «credible allegations» Trudeau made last year. Besides his vague allegations against India as he tries to pander to his Khalistani Sikh votes before an impending election, Trudeau has another problem: in the nine years as the Canadian PM, he has lost credibility and is widely expected to lose the next election. His desperation to throw India-Canada ties under the bus to retain support of his Khalistani vote bank seems all the more clumsy when he has landed in a political quicksand and thinks he can distract Canadians' attention from his own multi-crisis which include a coup brewing in his own caucus and corruption allegations.

Amid the strained relationship, India expelled six Canadian diplomats and announced the withdrawal of its High Commissioner, following Canada's withdrawal of over two-thirds of its diplomats.

covert operations on Canadian soil. The accusations center on the alleged involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead in British Columbia in June last year. Canadian authorities have now claimed that Indian agents are working in collaboration with criminal gangs, including the Bishnoi gang, to carry out covert operations targeting South Asian Canadians. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his government’s stance at a press conference, saying, “Canada will never tolerate the involvement of a foreign government in threatening and killing Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.” He emphasized that the findings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provided “clear and compelling evidence” that agents of the Indian government are engaged in activities that pose a significant threat to public safety. Trudeau detailed the evidence, stating, “This includes clandestine information gathering techniques, coercive behavior targeting South Asian Canadians, and involvement in over a dozen threatening and violent acts, including murder. This is unacceptable.”
