After a Canadian allegation implying prime minister Narendra Modi was aware of terrorist Hardeep Nijjar’s killing, India has called it a ‘ludicrous statement’.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said a Canadian report claiming Prime Minister Narendra Modi was aware of the plot to kill Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a "smear campaign".
Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper report quoted unnamed Canadian officials to say Mr Modi was aware of plot to kill the Khalistani activist. The report claimed the Indian national security advisor and the external affairs minister were also in the loop of the plot. Khalistani terrorist and Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in Vancouver in June last year, kickstarting a diplomatic crisis after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused "agents" of Delhi of being involved. He claimed "credible information" had been shared with intelligence partners, including the US.
In response, Mr Jaiswal said, "Such ludicrous statements made to a newspaper purportedly by a Canadian government source should be dismissed with the contempt they deserve. Smear campaigns like this only further damage our already strained ties."
