Ottawa: U.S. claims that an Indian government official guided a fruitless plot to kill a Khalistani psychological oppressor on U.S. soil highlights the requirement for India to treat comparable claims by Canada in a serious way, Canadian State head Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Equity Office expressed before on Wednesday that a 52-year-elderly person worked with an Indian government worker, whose obligations included security and knowledge, on the plot to kill a New York City occupant who supported for a Sikh sovereign state in northern India.
“The news emerging from the US further highlights what we’ve been referring to all along, which is that India needs to treat this in a serious way,” Trudeau told journalists in Ottawa.
The U.S. charges come around two months after Canada said there were “valid” claims connecting Indian specialists to the homicide of a Khalistani psychological oppressor, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in a Vancouver suburb, in June. India has dismissed that claim.
