Canada finds no clear foreign hand in Nijjar’s murder!
Canada’s inquiry found no definitive foreign link to Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing. The report contradicted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 2023 claim that Indian agents were involved. Trudeau had cited “credible information” and shared it with intelligence partners, sparking a diplomatic crisis.
India rejected the allegations, recalling its high commissioner. In response, Canada expelled Indian diplomats. Tensions escalated as Canada accused India of spreading disinformation about Nijjar’s killing. However, the report admitted no foreign state’s role could be proven.
The report, titled Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, highlighted how disinformation serves as a retaliatory tactic against opposing states. It suggested that disinformation followed Trudeau’s statement but failed to confirm foreign involvement.
Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was shot outside a gurdwara in Surrey on June 18, 2023. Trudeau’s allegations further strained Indo-Canadian ties. India dismissed them as smear tactics, warning they harmed relations.
In October, Canada expelled six Indian diplomats, calling them “agents.” Canadian police claimed they found evidence of a “campaign of violence.” India condemned this as baseless targeting, saying the harassment of its diplomats was unacceptable.
Despite Trudeau’s bold claims, Canada’s own report failed to establish a foreign state’s role, exposing contradictions in its narrative. Diplomatic tensions remain unresolved.
