In the midst of escalating diplomatic tensions, provoked by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s accusation of Indian involvement in the assassination of a Khalistani terrorist on Canadian soil, British Labour Party MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi expressed profound concern. Dhesi, representing Slough and beyond, disclosed that numerous “apprehensive, incensed, and anxious Sikhs” had reached out to him regarding the situation. He underscored that the information emanating from Canada was deeply disquieting.
Taking to his official platform on X, the British Labour MP articulated, “The unsettling reports emerging from #Canada have prompted many #Sikhs in #Slough and beyond to approach me, their emotions ranging from anxiety to anger and fear. Given Prime Minister Trudeau’s statement about collaboration with close allies, we are in communication with the UK Government to ensure that justice prevails.”
In a startling allegation on Monday, Canadian PM Trudeau contended that Indian operatives were responsible for the fatal shooting of Khalistan Tiger Force leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Addressing the Canadian Parliament on Monday (US local time), Trudeau asserted that national security officials in his country had credible grounds to suspect that “agents of the Indian government” executed the murder of the Canadian citizen, who also held the position of president at Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.
“Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the Government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” Trudeau declared.
However, India promptly refuted these allegations, denouncing them as “absurd” and “motivated.”
“We have reviewed and rejected the statement made by the Canadian Prime Minister in their Parliament, as well as the statement from their Foreign Minister,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) articulated in an official statement.
World leaders also expressed ‘deep concerns’ regarding Trudeau’s claims that linked the Indian government to the fatal shooting of the Khalistan Tiger Force leader in British Columbia, Canada.
