Nijjar murder trial: The US wants India to help with the investigation “in close coordination with Canada”
According to a US State Department official on Monday, the Biden Administration encouraged the Indian government to assist Canada in its investigations into the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The subject was brought up by Secretary of State Tony Blinken when he spoke with Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar last week.
According to ANI, the United States and Canada are currently closely coordinating in regards to claims that the Indian government was involved in the Nijjar assassination spree.
Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, recently claimed that Nijjar, a terrorist in India, had been shot to death with the help of the Indian government. On June 18, he was shot and killed in a parking lot near a Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia.
The Canadian citizen, who also served as the president of Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, was murdered, according to Trudeau, who stated that the national security officials of his nation had cause to think that “agents of the Indian government” were responsible.
Notably, Canada has not yet made any public proof of the alleged murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar available.
In response to suspicions of Indian complicity in the death made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, India has banned its visa services in Canada.
India issued a warning to its nationals and those visiting Canada amid difficult relations, urging them to proceed with “utmost caution in view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence” in the nation.
