India-Canada row: Justin Trudeau doubles down on claim, says ‘if bigger countries violate law without consequences…’
Nijjar Killing Row: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday reiterated his claim that they had reached out to India in connection with the pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. PM Trudeau also said that Canada "will always stand up for the rule of law".
The statement comes after US State Secretary Antony Blinken had on 10 November said that the US wants to see Canada moving its investigation forward on Hardeep Singh Nijjar and that India needs to help make it happen. Blinken made the statement after the ‘2 2’ meet with India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
“As a friend of both, we think it’s very important that India work with Canada on its investigation, and that they find a way to resolve this difference in a cooperative way," Blinken had said.
