India has firmly dismissed Canada's claims linking Indian agents to criminal gangs in the country, with official sources refuting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's accusations. These allegations were tied to the investigation into the killing of Sikh extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The diplomatic relationship between India and Canada took a sharp downturn on Monday when India expelled six Canadian diplomats and withdrew its High Commissioner from Ottawa. This move followed Canada's claims involving the Indian envoy in the probe of Nijjar's murder.
“Canadian PM Trudeau's press conference yesterday was the same old Trudeau saying the same old things for the same old reasons,” said a source, referring to Trudeau’s repeated statements on the matter.
Sources also rejected Canadian officials' claims that they provided credible evidence to India regarding the Nijjar case.
“The central assertion from all Canadian officials is that credible evidence has been presented to India. This was also repeated by their Charge d'Affaires Stewart Wheeler to the press. This is simply not true,” the source added.
The sources criticized Canada's approach, stating that vague accusations were made with no specific details provided and that Canada aimed to shift the burden of denial onto India.
Attempts by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to connect Indian agents to the Bishnoi gang were also dismissed by the sources. During the RCMP briefing, claims were made about links between certain individuals and India, but no concrete information was given, they said.
The sources further criticized the Canadian government's decision to target India's High Commissioner after a year of intensive engagement, calling it "absurd."
