Another issue has been added to the deteriorating relations between India and Canada.
The Canadian government has not shown interest in providing the death certificate of Canadian separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, sought by the National Investigation Agency.
Nijjar was shot dead in British Columbia, Canada in June last year, after which Canada blamed the Indian government and Indian agencies.
The effect of those allegations was that relations between India and Canada have reached their lowest level today.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau directly attacked the Indian government, accusing it of killing a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.
In response, the Indian government accused Canada of harboring extremists and anti-India elements and rejected all the allegations made by Canada as absurd and politically motivated.
What are NIA’s allegations against Hardeep Singh Nijjar?
Canadian terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar is accused by the NIA of being involved in the murder of a Hindu priest in Jalandhar in 2021.
In connection with this case, Canada had announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on him in 2022. Nijjar used to continuously spew venom against India on social media.
The NIA has two cases registered with it, in which Nijjar was named as an accused.
To complete the documentation of his case files, the investigating authorities need to place Nijjar’s death certificate before the court in Delhi, which is why they obtained his death certificate from the Canadian government about six months ago under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT). Asked to share. But instead of giving it, they asked about its need, now they will be sent answers on it.
After the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, relations between India and Canada started deteriorating rapidly. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau had named the Indian government in his Parliament and accused them.
India had rejected these allegations as absurd and politically motivated. In Canada, the Trudeau government is accused of giving protection to Khalistani terrorists posing as Canadian citizens.
Recently, they also put the Indian High Commissioner in the dock regarding Nijjar, after which the Indian government recalled its diplomats from Canada and expelled Canadian diplomats from the country.
