Trudeau Calls Own Officials 'Criminals' Over Info Leak In Nijjar Murder Probe

Justin Trudeaucanadian pm

We have seen, unfortunately, that criminals leaking top-secret information to the media have consistently gotten those stories wrong."

Addressing media in Brampton on Friday, Trudeau said

That's why we had a national enquiry into foreign interference, which has highlighted that criminals leaking information to media outlets are unreliable on top of being criminals,

he added

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,

she said

We had summoned the representative of the Canadian High Commission yesterday. A diplomatic note was handed over in reference to the proceedings of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security in Ottawa on October 29, 2024. It was conveyed in the note that the Government of India protests in the strongest terms to the absurd and baseless references made to the Union Home Minister of India before the Committee by Deputy Minister David Morrison."

At a media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated

It is obvious the Government of India made a fundamental error in thinking they could engage in supporting criminal activity against Canadians on our soil. Whether it be murders or extortion, it is absolutely unacceptable,

Trudeau said

We implemented these measures out of an abundance of caution. Their withdrawal reflects a reassessment of the security situation,

she said

Such allegations are baseless and aim to divert attention from Canada’s permissive environment for anti-India activities,

he said

We do not normally comment on media reports. However, such ludicrous statements made to a newspaper purportedly by a Canadian government source should be dismissed with the contempt they deserve,

said External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal

On October 14th, because of a significant and ongoing threat to public safety, the RCMP and officials took the extraordinary step of making public accusations of serious criminal activity in Canada perpetrated by agents of the Government of India,
