Bill Blair
Canada’s Defence Minister has emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations surrounding the killing of a Khalistani leader. He also underscored the importance of Canada’s relationship with India.
This statement follows Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, bringing attention to India on the global diplomatic stage. Following the murder of Khalistani leader, who was a Canadian citizen, Trudeau accused Indian agents for this murder. Trudeau said Indian agents violated Canada’s sovereignty.
Defence Minister Bill Blair stated, “We understand that this can be a challenging issue with respect to our relationship with India. We have the responsibility to ensure a thorough investigation is conducted to uncover the truth.”
He further added, “If the allegations are proven true, there is a significant concern that Canada will have regarding the violation of our sovereignty.”
Additionally, earlier reports indicated that top US diplomat David Cohen suggested that shared intelligence among the ‘Five Eyes’ partners played a role in Justin Trudeau’s decision to publicly raise these accusations against India.
FBI warns of attacks on Khalistani leaders in USA
Meanwhile, FBI agents delivered alarming messages to several Sikh individuals in California, warning them of potential risks to their lives. The FBI alerted the Sikh community following the assassination of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He was a Canadian citizen, who was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Ottawa.
Pritpal Singh disclosed that he and two other Sikh Americans received calls and visits from the FBI after Nijjar’s murder. Pritpal is a US citizen and coordinator for the American Sikh Caucus Committee.
Furthermore, in a startling revelation, Sukhman Dhami, the coordinator of Ensaaf, a California-based nonprofit group, stated that Sikhs throughout the US received police warnings regarding political threats.
Earlier, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expelled the head of India’s intelligence agency RAW, stationed in Ottawa.
Also, this action came with accusations of India’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, causing a further deterioration in the already strained relations between Ottawa and New Delhi.
