As the Bharat-Canada diplomatic faceoff continues, the Canadian police have arrested three Bharatiya nationals for allegedly killing Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Bharat-designated terrorist.
The arrest also indicates the absence of involvement of Bharat behind the killing of Khalistani separatist. The arrest also indicates the absence of involvement of Bharat behind the killing of Khalistani separatist. It is to be noted that Nijjar was shot down by unknown assailants outside a gurudwara in Surrey in Canada’s British Columbia province last year.
Following the death of Nijjar, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had blamed Bharat to be involved in the killing, turning the diplomatic relations between the two nations sour as Bharat called the allegations baseless.
Even after months of false ‘Bharat link’, Trudeau has failed to furnish any concrete proof against Bharat. Meanwhile, Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh has accused Bharat of hiring these assassins to kill Nijjar. Demanding justice for Nijjar, Jagmeet Singh, the Leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party said that Bharatiya agent involved in the murder must be exposed and met with the full force of Canadian law.
In a post on X, Singh wrote, ‘The Indian government hired assassins to murder a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil- at a place of worship. Today 3 arrests were made. Let me be clear- any Indian agent or state actor that ordered, planned or carried out this murder must be exposed and met with the full force of Canadian law. For Canada, democracy and free speech- there must be Justice for Hardeep Singh Nijjar(sic)’.
Jagmeet Singh’s NDP has supported the Liberal minority government led by Justin Trudeau in exchange for support on some key bills.
