Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has made baseless allegations against India in the case of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, is having to repeatedly change his statement. His changing statements have brought Canada’s credibility into question on the global stage. Recently, after accusing India’s Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Canada has again reversed its statement. Now Canada has clarified on its official website that it does not have any evidence of any involvement in the Hardeep Nijjar case against the Indian Prime Minister, NSA Ajit Doval and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar.
Trudeau was seen retreating from his statements
Nathalie G. Drouin, deputy clerk of the Privy Council and national security and intelligence advisor to Prime Minister Trudeau, has said in an official statement that there is no concrete evidence against the Indian officials. This situation has further weakened the credibility of the Canadian government, because contrary to earlier allegations, they are now going back on their own statements. This development is not only affecting bilateral relations but is also damaging Canada’s image at the international level.
Trudeau government’s clarification
Prime Minister Trudeau’s Privy Council Office has clarified that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar in Canada have no connection with this matter. The Government of Canada also stated that neither it nor it was aware of any evidence linking these leaders to serious criminal activity in Canada.
