Ottawa:
Canadian Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre has taken a dig at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his accusations against India over its involvement in the alleged killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He has said that he must come out with all the facts to provide clarity. judgements.
In a media address on Tuesday, Mr Poilievre said: ‘I think the Prime Minister should reveal all the facts. We need to know all the possible evidence so that Canadians can make a judgment about it.
Mr Poilievre’s comments came in response to a media query asking what more should be done now that an Indian diplomat was being deported by Canada.
“The Prime Minister has not provided any facts. He has made a statement. And I just want to emphasize that he has not told me more privately than he has told Canadians publicly. So we want to see more information,” Mr. Poilievre said . said.
He stated that the allegations could be untrue or unbelievable if more information is not provided.
“We need the evidence that allowed the Prime Minister to reach the conclusions he reached yesterday,” he said.
‘I would need more evidence to make a judgment on that. I find it interesting that he was aware of Beijing’s massive foreign interference for years, while Beijing was holding two Canadian citizens hostage. And he said nothing. And he did nothing. It was just really interesting that that was the approach he took in that case,” he added.
A day ago, Trudeau accused the Indian government of the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He claimed his country’s national security officials had reason to believe that “agents of the Indian government” carried out the killing of the Canadian citizen, who was also president of Surrey’s guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.
Najjar, who was wanted in India, was shot outside a Gurdwara in a parking lot in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, on June 18.
Nijjar, who hails from Bharsinghpur village in Jalandhar in Punjab, was based in Surrey and had been declared an “absconder” by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
However, India has rejected Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s allegations about the government’s involvement in the deadly Nijjar shooting. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a statement called the allegations ‘absurd’ and ‘motivated’.
“We have seen and rejected the statement made by the Canadian Prime Minister in their Parliament, as well as the statement made by their Minister of Foreign Affairs,” the MEA said in an official statement.
