Canadian Prime Minister in a press conference in Montreal, Canada said that he was assured by the Americans on the issue of involvement of India in the killing of Hardip Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani Canadian citizen. But in a statement from the US Department of State, no specifics were mentioned about the current geopolitical tension involving India or any possible discussions and talks surrounding it. It only included the areas of cooperation between the US and India and the importance of the upcoming 2+2 dialogue. Later in a talk at the Hudson Institute, External Foreign Minister Jaishankar clarified that the point involving Canada was raised by NSA Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Blinken on the assessments of the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Justin Trudeau also clarified that the rumours of him doing drugs when in New Delhi for a G20 meeting were misleading, which were levelled at him by a retired Indian diplomat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this issue, many experts have observed that the allies of Canada are hesitant to speak up or condemn India based on the allegations. Many of them are in the last or early stages of finalizing trade talks with India and don\u2019t want to sabotage the much-worked-out deal, which they have worked hard to deliver. When asked UK leader Rishi Sunak, he mentioned the trade deal, while dodging the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
