Canada India Relation: Amidst the bitterness in India-Canada relations, a big confession was made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He had said that Canada had not given the necessary evidence to India in the Nijjar murder case. Now Canadian national security expert Joe Adam George has raised questions on his own PM Justin Trudeau regarding this matter.
‘After all, what was the need to blame India?’
Canadian national security expert Adam George said, “Justin Trudeau’s admission that he did not share concrete evidence with India at the time was quite interesting. It just goes to show that the question is whether this allegation would be made public.” It is not yet clear whether Canada has shared more evidence with India or not, I think only time will tell everything.
Earlier, Canadian PM Trudeau had accused India of being involved in the murder of Nijjar. After this, India showed strictness and termed these allegations as absurd and called it a political stunt by Trudeau. Justin Trudeau said intelligence from Canada and its allies suggested Indian agents were involved in Nijjar’s murder, but acknowledged there was no concrete evidence at the time.

India responded to Trudeau’s allegations
Justin Trudeau said, “Told India that this was not solid evidence, but only intelligence information. We wanted India to cooperate with us behind the scenes. There was no concrete evidence at this time.” India’s Foreign Ministry showed strictness on this on Thursday (17 October 2024).
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “The Canadian government has not shared any information with India since September 2023. Justin Trudeau did make serious allegations, but no information was shared. We need to ensure the safety of our diplomats.” There is concern and keeping that in mind we have called our diplomats back to India.”
