India-Canada row: How world reacted to Canada's allegation against India
Hindustan Times. “We remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners. It is critical that Canada’s investigation proceed and the perpetrators be brought to justice," White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a brief statement.
A spokesperson for Australia’s foreign minister Penny Wong said Canberra’s concerns had been conveyed to New Delhi at “senior levels". “Australia is deeply concerned by these allegations and notes ongoing investigations into this matter," the spokesperson said in a statement.
“Australia believes all countries should respect sovereignty and the rule of law." India has outrightly rejected as "baseless" and "motivated" Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim of a "potential link" between Indian government agents and the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader and sought prompt legal action against anti-India elements operating from Canada.
