At a hearing on foreign interference on Wednesday, Trudeau addressed Nijjar's murder, as well as what he termed a broader campaign by Indian government representatives targeting Canadian citizens inside Canada.
Niijar's killing has strained bilateral relations between India and Canada for over a year and boiled over this week as the countries expelled each other’s top diplomats over those allegations and other alleged crimes in Canada.
Amid the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau at Foreign Interference Commission said that "Canadians who are opponents of Modi government, their information was passed to the Indian govt at the highest level and then information directed through criminal organisations like the Lawrence Bishnoi gang resulted in violence against Canadians on the ground." However, when it came to citing evidence, Trudeau simply said, "it is not hard evidence but it is just intelligence at that point..."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pointed fingers at India in the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and also linked the Indian High Commissioner to the probe.
