“I emphasized that we need to do some work,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference in Laos. I won’t go into detail about what we talked about, but what I have said many times is that protecting the safety of Canadians and maintaining the rule of law is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian government.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had a brief conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the summit in Laos. Pointing to strained relations between the two countries after India accused New Delhi of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year, Trudeau said he spoke to PM Modi about the work that needs to be done. “I emphasized that we need to do some work,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference in Laos. I won’t go into detail about what we talked about, but what I have said many times is that protecting the safety of Canadians and maintaining the rule of law is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any Canadian government.
Trudeau said Canada needs to continue to develop its trade ties and people-to-people ties with India. But there are some real issues that we need to resolve and we will remain focused on that. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force and wanted by the Indian government, was killed in a targeted firing in Surrey, Canada in June 2023. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that there were credible allegations that Indian agents were involved in Nijjar’s murder. India rejected Trudeau’s allegations as absurd and motivated.
Let us tell you that the Canadian government has said that it is still waiting for the results of the investigation being conducted by law enforcement agencies into the murder of Khalistan supporter Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This clarification from Canada’s side comes a year after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement in the House of Commons on September 18 last year made credible allegations of a possible link between Indian agents and the killing of Nijjar. . That statement soured bilateral relations.
