America has expressed concern over Canada's allegations regarding the Khalistan dispute. The Joe Biden administration said it is concerned about India being held responsible for the killing of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. America has asked India to cooperate with Canada in the investigation of this matter. A spokesperson for the US State Department said that we are concerned about Prime Minister Trudeau's allegations. We want this matter to be investigated and the culprits to be punished. We urge India to cooperate in this investigation.
Indian government behind Nijjar's murder-PM Trudeau
Let us tell you that Canada PM Justin Trudeau had alleged on Monday that the Indian government was behind the murder of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Canadian government had expelled India's top diplomat in Canada in view of the investigation into India's involvement. At the same time, the Indian government completely rejected the allegations of Canadian PM Trudeau. The Indian Foreign Ministry said that Trudeau's allegations were false. After this, India also expelled Canadian diplomat Cameron McKay in New Delhi.
India retaliated against Canada
The Foreign Ministry said that accusing the Indian government of being involved in any kind of violence in Canada is ridiculous and politically motivated. We are committed to our democratic values. The Foreign Ministry had asked the Canadian diplomat to leave the country within 5 days. Let us tell you that Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) chief and Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurudwara on June 18 this year. There was a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on him.
India-Canada relations may worsen
After that statement by PM Justin Trudeau, the old relations between India and Canada may get spoiled. Canada has issued an advisory for its citizens living in India. In this advisory he has urged his people to be cautious. It says that situations can change anytime so be alert. Keep an eye on the media and follow the given guidelines.
