Canada Yet to Share any Info with India on Nijjar's Killing
20:39 09.05.2024 (Updated: 20:40 09.05.2024) Canadian police this month arrested three Indian student-visa holders in connection with the killing of pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. However, police have refused to confirm whether they were linked to Indian government.
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said that Canada is yet to share any evidence on India’s involvement in the killing of pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was gunned down in British Columbia last June.
"No specific or relevant evidence or information has been shared by Canadian authorities in regards to this particular matter till date with us. Therefore, understand our view that the matter is being prejudged when people say X or Y,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told a regular news briefing in New Delhi on Thursday.
The remarks by the Indian foreign ministry spokesperson were made in response to Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly's remarks on Tuesday. The top Canadian diplomat reiterated
Ottawa's charge that "Indian agents" were involved in the killing of Nijjar, a Canadian citizen.
“Obviously, there are political interests at work,” Jaiswal said, in apparent reference to Joly's accusation.
“We have long maintained that extremists, separatists and those advocating violence have been given political space in Canada,” the MEA spokesperson went on to state.
He highlighted that Indian diplomat in Canada continued to be "threatened with impunity and obstructed in performance of their duties".
"We have also pointed out to Canadian authorities that figures associated with organised crime have been allowed entry and residency. Many of our extradition requests are pending with them," Jaiswal remarked.
The Indian official noted that New Delhi and Ottawa were involved in discussions at a diplomatic level to address these issues.
"We have been telling them that you have been giving political space to separatists, extremists and people who advocate violence. They are acting against India," said Jaiswal.
He further stated that Canadian authorities have been consistently made aware by India about the threat to Indian diplomats.
Canada has Informed India About Arrests in Nijjar Probe
Jaiswal said that Ottawa has informed New Delhi about the arrests of three Indian student visa-holders allegedly linked to the death of Nijjar.
The MEA spokesperson also revealed that the arrested individuals haven't sought consular access to the Indian High Commission in Canada.
A report in Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) claimed that the arrested Indian citizens have links with jailed Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, though the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has said that it was probing these claims.
