At a press conference on Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Khalistani separatist, and accused the Indian government of being involved.
He called on India to work with Canada to investigate the matter and allow justice to take its course.
"We have an obligation as a country of the rule of law to ensure that our processes unfold in a rigorous and independent manner," said Trudeau. "It would be completely unacceptable for any country to be involved in the killing of a citizen on their home soil."
Trudeau's comments come as tensions between India and Canada have been escalating since Nijjar's death. He spoke out about the importance of upholding international rules-based order and emphasized that Canada will take the allegations seriously.
"As I said on Monday, there are credible reasons to believe that agents of the Government of India were involved in the killing of a Canadian on Canadian soil, which is something of utmost and foundational importance in the country of rule of law," Trudeau said.
The Prime Minister's remarks reflect the importance of justice and accountability, and send a strong signal to India that Canada will not tolerate political violence on its soil. He urged India to address the allegations and take responsibility for its potential involvement in Nijjar's death.
