New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has taken on the Justin Trudeau government for literally defaming India over the gunning down of proscribed terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia in June 2023 due to internal Khalistani politics and without a shred of evidence. Three gangsters—Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh—taking shelter in Canada on sundry visas have been arrested by Royal Canadian Mounted Police for Nijjar murder in what appears to be gang warfare.

The worst part is that the Modi government has already been convicted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Parliament last September 18, 2023 for involvement in the murder but not an iota of evidence has been provided to date or any indictment filed in the court for the same. EAM Jaishankar at Bhubaneswar on Saturday indicated that all this drama over Nijjar killing had nothing to do with India but was internal minority vote bank politics in poll-bound Canada. Trudeau runs a minority government with support of Khalistan linked New Democratic Party run by India hater Jagmeet Singh.

While the list of terrorist, gangster and drug smugglers from Punjab who are taking shelter is longer than this, the fact is that the Canadian government and the police have taken no action on the Indian demand as these mafia are running a full-fledged extortion and targeted killing racket in north India. Instead, for the sake of Khalistani vote bank, the Trudeau government is deliberately blaming India for Nijjar killing to secure radical votes.
