India on Tuesday outrightly rejected as “baseless” and “motivated” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim of a “potential link between Indian government agents and the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader, and sought prompt legal action against anti-India elements operating from Canada. After Trudeau made the comments in Parliament, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly announced that a top Indian diplomat has been expelled from Canada. In a statement in Parliament, Trudeau claimed there were “credible allegations of a potential link between Indian government agents and the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June. In strong reaction, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the allegations of the Government of India’s involvement in any act of violence in Canada are “absurd and motivated”. “We have seen and reject the statement of the Canadian prime minister in their Parliament, as also the statement by their foreign minister,” it said. It said “such unsubstantiated allegations seek to shift the focus from Khalistani terrorists and extremists, who have been provided shelter in Canada and continue to threaten India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” “The inaction of the Canadian Government on this matter has been a long-standing and continuing concern,” the MEA said. The MEA said similar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and were completely rejected,” it said. With inputs from agencies
