New Delhi: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Canada has shared with India evidence of “credible allegations” about the involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar many weeks ago and wants New Delhi to “commit constructively” with Ottawa to establish the facts on this serious matter.
“I just want to simply say that we’ve shared those allegations, those credible allegations with India for weeks. We are working with our partners,” Trudeau said on Friday in a press conference with the visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, news agency PTI reported.
“And what we are asking is for India, to commit constructively with Canada to establish the facts on this situation. We’re there to work with them. And we have been for weeks now,” Trudeau said in response to a question.
“Canada has shared the credible allegations that I talked about on Monday with India. We did that many weeks ago. We hope that they engage with us so that we can get to the bottom of this very serious matter. That’s important,” he said.
Asked about Canada sharing any information in the case with India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi said: “No specific information has been shared by Canada on this case, either then or before or after.
We have, you know, as we have said, or I think we have made very clear, we are willing to look at any specific information.”
“We have conveyed this to the Canadian side and made it clear to them that we are willing to look at any specific information that is provided to us.
But so far we have not received any such specific information,” MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in New Delhi.
