VisitIndia Rejects Canada's Claim That Diplomats Are 'Persons of Interest,' Summons Envoy Over Nijjar Probe
Oct 14, 2024, 10:00 AM
India has strongly rejected Canada's allegations that its diplomats, including High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, are "persons of interest" in an investigation related to the killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs described the claims as "preposterous imputations" and accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of making unsubstantiated charges, pursuing a political agenda centered around vote bank politics, and supporting violent extremists. India labeled the situation as "naked interference" and "hostility towards India." The government asserted that Canada has not shared any evidence regarding the case, reserved the right to take further steps, and summoned Canada's Chargé d'Affaires Stewart Wheeler to lodge a formal protest. The diplomatic row marks a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries.
