Canada ignored request to share information on Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing: S Jaishankar

New Delhi, January 31

Canada ignored India’s request for sharing information about any concerns they may have about New Delhi’s potential link to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and instead went public with the allegations against India, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in an interview to a TV channel.

“Canada, for some years, has been giving space to extremists and terrorists in their politics. I believe this is a weakness in their politics. A lot of problems have happened there because of this. It should not have happened,” Jaishankar said. “They did not share anything, but made allegations in public. In comparison, see the example of the US. The US told us that they have some information, and they will give us some information to look into from our side,” he observed.
