The Canadian government has clarified a recent controversial report that sought to establish a link between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, terming the media report as “speculative and inaccurate".
“The Government of Canada has not stated, nor is it aware of evidence, linking Prime Minister Modi, Minister Jaishankar, or NSA Doval to the serious criminal activity within Canada. Any suggestion to the contrary is both speculative and inaccurate," the government said.
What Was The Media Report?
This comes after The Globe and Mail, a reputed newspaper in Canada published an article linking PM Modi and NSA Doval into the controversy around the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June last year.
The report had cited an unnamed security official claiming that “Canadian security agencies believe that PM Modi “knew about Nijjar’s killing".
Notably, Nijjar’s killing has led to a diplomatic row between the two countries with Trudeau himself alleging that the Indian officials were involved in the incident while New Delhi has rejected the claims.
