India and Canada, triggered by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegation of Indian agents being behind the killing of a pro-Khalistan leader on his home soil, Canadian journalist Terry Milewski on Tuesday said he hoped that more «evidence» will come to the surface in the form of «leaks, or announcements or private briefings».
Speaking to on Tuesday, Milewski said the allegation «better be good» as if it isn't, it will turn into a «bigger embarrassment for Prime Minister Trudeau».
He said the «Indians were not going to sit quietly» unless the Canadian government presented «evidence» to back its claim of New Delhi's involvement in the killing of the wanted Khalistani leader.
«So I think that over time, either through a procedure of leaks or some sort of announcement or some nice little off-the-record private briefing for chosen reporters, that in one way or the other, it's going to get out what the government is talking about...I can tell you that it better be good. Because if it's not, this is just going to blossom into an even bigger embarrassment for Prime Minister Trudeau,» Milewski added.
Milewski is a former senior correspondent for Canada-based CBC television news.
The Canadian journalist said there has been a persistent rumour within the Khalistan community in Canada that this (killing of Hardeep Nijjar) was not some local gangland killing.
«The problem is that for the Canadians there has been a persistent but unconformable rumour...within the Khalistan community in Canada, which is large and very active, that this was not some local gangland killing, as it first appeared.
