Trudeau calls on India to cooperate in murder probe
Saturday, 23 September 2023
TORONTO, Sept 22 (BBC): Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has reiterated that there are "credible reasons" to believe that Indian agents may have been behind the murder of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil.
He first made the allegation on Monday, which India has strongly rejected, calling them "absurd".
Hardeep Singh Nijjar - who India designated a terrorist in 2020 - was shot dead outside a temple in June. Tensions between the two countries have flared after the allegation. The Indian government has often reacted sharply to demands by Sikh separatists in Western countries for Khalistan.
