WASHINGTON, DC (IANS) – The US has expressed “deep concern” over Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s allegations of a “potential link between Indian government agents and the murder of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar.”
White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson in a statement said, “We are deeply concerned about the allegations referenced by Prime Minister Trudeau earlier today. We remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners. It is critical that Canada’s investigation proceed, and the perpetrators be brought to justice.”
Canadian foreign minister Melanie Joly informed that Trudeau had brought the matter up with President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
India rejected claims by the Canada government that it had an involvement in the killing of Nijjar.

The west wants a weaker Indian Govt. Modi’s handling of the economy and foreign policy not dancing to US tune is affecting them.
None of these nations were worried about Khalistan terror on Indians or the bombing of Air India in the 1980s.

U S and Canada are on the right track to warn India based on their record of human rights. India should not interfere with the proceedings in another country just like India wants to be left alone. Justice system in Canada will determine who the culprits are

Sounds like a division tactic until there’s evidence.

Probably making India the scapegoat for some joint op to save face with his constituents.
