India-Canada diplomatic row over Sikh leader's murder deepens further
|
 [GEO.TV] The diplomatic row between New Delhi and Ottawa worsened further on Tuesday over a Sikh leader’s liquidation as India — in a tit-for-tat move — expelled a Canadian diplomat, triggering an international response on the matter.
The ties between the two nations fell to a new low after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

murder in British Columbia in June.
Nijjar, who was rubbed out outside a Sikh temple in June, had been designated a "terrorist" by India in July 2020, following his support for a Sikh homeland in the form of an independent state of Khalistan.

The Canadian high commissioner, or ambassador, in New Delhi had been summoned and told of the expulsion decision, India's foreign ministry said in a statement.
"The decision reflects the government of India’s growing concern at the interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities," the ministry added.
"The concerned diplomat has been asked to leave India within the next five days."
Earlier, PM Justin Trudeau took his closest allies on board regarding the involvement of the Indian government in the incident.
CBC News, citing a senior government source, stated that PM Trudeau has briefed UK PM Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, and US President Joe The Big Guy Biden

about the progress made in the killing of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Canada also expelled India's top intelligence agent in the country. Pavan Kumar Rai, the head of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW

), in Canada, was operating from the Indian High Commission.
The shocking revelation about the Indian role in the incident was exposed by the Canadian PM in a speech at an emergency of the assembly.
Canada was "actively pursuing credible allegations" linking Indian government agents to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, PM Trudeau told the House of Commons on Monday.
Trudeau said he had raised the issue of the murder directly with Modi on the sidelines of last week's G20 summit in New Delhi, and urged his government to co-operate with Canada to resolve it.
Modi, in turn, conveyed strong concern to Trudeau over recent demonstrations in Canada by Sikhs calling for an independent state.
Canada has the largest population of Sikhs outside the Indian state of Punjab, with about 770,000 people reporting Sikhism as their religion in the 2021 census.
India rejects allegations
In response, the Indian foreign ministry rejected allegations of involvement in any kind of violence and termed these as absurd and motivated.
Similar accusations made by Trudeau to Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been "completely rejected", it added in a statement released after bombshell allegations.
"We urge the government of Canada to take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from their soil," the ministry said.
Such "unsubstantiated allegations" sought to shift the focus away from "Khalistani murderous Moslems and murderous Moslems who have been provided shelter in Canada", it added.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar: Who Was The Khalistani Terrorist Killed In Canada?
[OneIndia] Canada has accused India of being involved in the liquidation of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, which occurred in June 2023, leading to the expulsion of an Indian diplomat in Ottawa.
Here are 5 points on Hardeep Singh Nijjar:
- Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gunned down on June 18, 2023, when he was fatally shot multiple times outside a Gurudwara in Surrey, Canada.
- Originally hailing from Bhar Singh Pura village in Jalandhar, Nijjar immigrated to Canada in 1997 and pursued a career as a plumber. He was a married man with two sons. Nijjar's association with Khalistan militancy extended over a significant period following his migration to Canada.
- He held a prominent position as the "mastermind" of the banned terrorist organization known as the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF). Additionally, he was linked to the outlawed separatist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). In 2020, India designated him as a terrorist.
- Nijjar faced multiple allegations, including his alleged involvement in the 2007 explosion that resulted in six fatalities and around 40 injuries in Ludhiana, Punjab. He was also implicated in the assassination of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat President Rulda Singh in Patiala in 2009.
- Last July, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) offered a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to Nijjar's apprehension in connection with the murder of a Hindu priest in Jalandhar, Punjab. The NIA is also actively investigating recent attacks on Indian diplomatic missions in Canada, the UK, and the US.
