External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has reacted strongly to the arrest of three Indians in Canada for their alleged involvement in the killing of Khalistani Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijja. He told the media on Saturday (April 4) that they are waiting to receive detailed information about the three arrested Indians from the Canadian police. Indian media NDTV reported this news.
Jaishankar said, he heard the news of the arrest. They may have links with an Indian gang. However, India is waiting to know what the Canadian police are saying about the whole matter.
India’s foreign minister has alleged that Sikh terrorists in Canada are carrying out anti-India propaganda. And Canada allows it. Groups especially from Punjab are active in Canada. Despite India’s request, the Canadian government is not responding.
Jaishankar spoke for the first time after the arrest of three Indians.
Indian High Commissioner in Canada Sanjay Verma said that Canadian police arrested the three people after investigation. It is their internal matter. But we are waiting for information.
Canadian police said the three were arrested on Friday in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. The police are investigating whether these three have links with the Indian government.
Nijjar was killed on June 18 last year. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has alleged that the Indian government has a hand in this murder. However, India directly denied any involvement in the killings. But since then the relationship between the two countries deteriorated.
