New Delhi: Justin Trudeau has been going hammer and tongs at India for more than a year over the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.
Having accused Indian agents of being involved in the killing of Nijjar in June 2023, the Canadian Prime Minister recently confessed that his claim was based only on intel, and he could not provide any hard proof.
Now, Trudeau faces more embarrassment.
Two gangsters in Canada recently admitted to killing Ripudaman Singh Malik, an accused in the Air India Kanishka bombing of 1985, in July 2022.
Malik and Nijjar were rivals, and the Trudeau government helped their gangs flourish.
The confession of Malik’s killers has exposed the ‘game’ Trudeau was playing since last year by painting India as the ‘villain’ in Nijjar’s murder for vote-bank interests, reported India Today.
Interestingly, Canada’s federal police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), was investigating India’s role even in the Malik murder case, Canadian broadcaster CBC had reported in May last year.
On October 21, gangsters Tanner Fox and Jose Lopez – who are not of Indian origin — entered guilty pleas in British Columbia Supreme Court on the eve of their trial for the killing of Malik.
Malik, who was let off in the Kanishka bombing case in 2005 due to lack of evidence, had become a changed man.
Months before his murder, Malik wrote a letter praising and thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “services to the Sikh community”, including opening of the Kartarpur Corridor and assuring justice was served in cases related to 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
It’s highly possible that Malik’s pro-India stance angered Khalistani terrorists like Nijjar.
