Trudeau says police revealed Indian diplomat allegations to prevent violence in Canada
Summary: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that Canada’s national police made public allegations against Indian diplomats to prevent further violence, including shootings and extortions. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police identified Indian diplomats as persons of interest in the June 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Trudeau emphasized that the decision was based on public safety, as evidence suggested Indian agents were involved in violent acts against Canadians. He noted that India has violated Canada’s sovereignty, while India rejected the allegations as baseless and criticized Canada’s handling of the situation.
Tensions between Canada and India have escalated, with both countries expelling each other's diplomats. The British government has urged India to cooperate with Canada’s investigation, and the U.S. has also called for India’s cooperation in the matter.
