Not a surprise
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Syrus Qazi stated that Canada’s allegations of India’s involvement in the killing of a Sikh leader was not surprise for Pakistan. He said that India had engaged in sabotage activities in Pakistan for decades.
Qazi addressed the media at Pakistan’s mission to the United Nations and asserted that if Canada’s prime minister accused India of being involved in Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s assassination, the claim could not be baseless.
He further noted that this statement was unsurprising, considering India’s history of attempting to destabilize Pakistan. Qazi also pointed out that Pakistan currently held a serving officer from the Indian navy in custody on charges of espionage and sabotage.
Qazi emphasized that if any country in the world understood India well, it was Pakistan.
Additionally, he confirmed that caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar would raise the Kashmir issue in his speech at the UN General Assembly.
Furthermore, he mentioned that the UN Secretary-General routinely hosted a reception for world leaders, and Kakar would participate in a reception hosted by US President Joe Biden.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened an emergency session of the House of Commons to address his government’s investigation into credible allegations of the Indian government’s involvement in the assassination of a Sikh leader in Canada.
Trudeau also raised this matter with the top leaders of the US and the UK.
