There is tension between India and Canada over the murder of Khalistani Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Meanwhile, there was heavy firing at the house of a close friend of Nijjar in Canada. Nijjar was shot dead on June 18 in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
Canadian media says that the name of Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s close relative whose house was fired at is Simranjeet Singh.
This incident happened on Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses say that the car parked outside Simranjit Singh’s house was also hit by bullets and was damaged.
Apart from this, marks of bullets can also be seen on the walls of the house. Canadian police has also confirmed this incident. Police said, ‘This firing took place at the home of Simranjit Singh in South Surrey.’ Police say that no one was injured in this incident.
Let us tell you that pro-Khalistan groups have been accusing India of carrying out such attacks on its behalf. Not only this, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had also recently said that Indian agents had a hand in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Due to this, relations between India and Canada had deteriorated. India had even asked to reduce the number of Canadian diplomats and asked 41 diplomats to return.
Pro-Khalistan groups say that Hardeep Singh Nijjar had a role in the demonstration outside the Indian Consulate on January 26 last year.
Due to this, Indian agents got him murdered. British Columbia Gurdwara Council spokesperson and separatist Mohinder Singh has also accused India.
Mohinder Singh said, ‘It seems that the Indian government or their actors are behind this. All this has been done out of irritation with what Simranjit Singh is doing.
He said that Simranjit Singh’s connection with Hardeep Singh Nijjar could also be a reason for this attack.
Let us tell you that activities of Khalistanis have often taken place in Surrey. Not only this, many times even Hindu temples have been targeted.
