Tension is increasing between India and Canada after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's statement on the killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Meanwhile, Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair has given a big statement. He said that the strategy in Indo-Pacific is incomplete without India.
Canada has come to its knees after India's strictness. Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair has described relations with India as important. He has said that relations with India are very important for us. The strategy in Indo-Pacific is incomplete without India, because it is India which provides military strength in Indo-Pacific. Tension between India and Canada has increased after PM Justin Trudeau's statement on the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Canada will continue to pursue partnerships: Defense Minister
Defense Minister Bill Blair says Canada will continue to advance partnerships such as the Indo-Pacific Strategy while the investigation into Nijjar's murder continues. He said that our relations with India have been strained, but it is our responsibility to protect the law and protect our citizens.
Blair said that the Indo-Pacific strategy is still very important for us and this has led to an increase in military presence in the region. Commitments to our forward patrol capabilities have increased. The Indo-Pacific Strategy contributes US$492.9 million over 5 years to military priorities.
Dispute between India and Canada increased on Trudeau's allegations
Earlier, PM Justin Trudeau had alleged that the Indian government could be behind the murder of Nijjar. After PM Trudeau's statement, the controversy increased so much that both India and Canada expelled each other's diplomats. Meanwhile, India rejected all the allegations made by Canada. The Indian Foreign Ministry said that Trudeau is lying. His statements are misleading. On June 18, 45-year-old Nijjar was shot dead in British Columbia.
