Canada fails to provide evidence on Nijjar killing, despite claims of having proof
Justin Trudeau reiterated his concerns over India's involvement in the death of Khalistani leader Hardeep Nijjar. However, these claims remain unsubstantiated, with no concrete evidence presented by the Canadian government despite claiming to have 'credible reasons' for making the allegations.
According to reports from CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) released overnight, Canada's government allegedly claimed to have collected a trove of intelligence over several months concerning Nijjar's demise.
This intelligence reportedly includes conversations with Indian diplomats residing in Canada.
CBC sources also suggested that certain Indian officials have privately acknowledged the existence of this intelligence. Nevertheless, the Indian government has firmly rejected any connection to Nijjar's killing, dismissing the allegations as 'absurd' and 'motivated.'
During a recent news conference in New York, Prime Minister Trudeau failed to provide substantive evidence supporting Canada's claims.
Instead, he reiterated that there were «credible reasons» to suspect India's involvement and emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law in a world governed by international rules-based orders. Trudeau urged India to take the matter seriously, calling for transparency, accountability, and justice.
CBC News reveals that the intelligence in question did not originate solely within Canada; an unnamed ally within the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, comprising the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, also contributed.
As part of the ongoing investigation into Hardeep Singh Nijjar's death, several Canadian officials have made trips to India, seeking cooperation.
