Nijjar killing: Justin Trudeau's statement irresponsible, could have been reworded, rephrased, say Indian diaspora in Canada
Canada have termed as «extremely irresponsible» the allegations against India made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the killing of Khalistterrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar stating that the former could have reworded or rephrased his statement to ensure that the Hindu and Sikh communities are not impacted.
«The announcement made by Prime Minister Trudeau in the parliament was something that could have been easily avoided and he could have easily followed diplomatic channels,» Indo-Canadian businessman from Brampton Ravi Sharma said.
He was responding to Trudeau's allegations on the Indian government's involvement in the fatal shooting of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
«The moment the announcement was made, the Hindu community in Canada was on alert and it did create an immediate impact that people felt they were in distress and they were fearful because the pitch that was made in the parliament sounded as if a Hindu government had killed a Sikh leader. Which is not the fact.
The fact was very different. And Hindus and Sikhs have always lived in peace and harmony in Canada and the statement made by Prime Minister Trudeau was extremely irresponsible,» Canadian businessman from Brampton said.
Sharma said Trudeau could have «simply reworded it, rephrased it in order to make sure that the communities are not impacted.
And this is what I have been hearing from my fellow Hindu and Sikh members and the people that I know. And I hope the communities will work towards strengthening their bonds and this statement will have no impact as far as our community relations go and we will continue to make Canada strong and our brotherhood strong as well.»
Last Thursday, Trudeau said his country
