Nijjar was shot outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia, Canada, by two masked gunmen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trudeau\u2062 stated that Canadian security agencies have been actively investigating the potential link between Indian government agents and\u2063 the murder. He emphasized that his government \u200cwill hold the perpetrators accountable and called on India \u200cto cooperate in \u200cuncovering the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While no arrests have been made \u2063in connection with the killing, three suspects are currently under \u200dinvestigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response to the allegations, India expelled Canada&#8217;s station chief\u2062 for the external Indian intelligence service, and Canada retaliated by expelling \u2064an Indian diplomat. Both \u2064countries have denied the accusations and engaged in a diplomatic \u200cdispute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Indian \u2063government \u200clabeled Nijjar\u200c a \u200dterrorist in 2020, accusing him of supporting attacks\u2063 in Punjab. The Khalistan separatist movement,\u200c which aims to establish a sovereign state in\u2063 the Punjab region, has been linked to\u2062 Nijjar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The issue of\u200d Khalistan and the alleged assassination was discussed during the G20 Summit between Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is also expected to be a topic of conversation at the\u200d United Nations General Assembly meeting in \u200dNew York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The United States has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elizabeth-warren-calls-on-sec-to-investigate-potential-market-manipulation-cautions-against-internet-trading-schemes-a-flash-mob-with-money\/\" title=\"Elizabeth Warren Calls On SEC To Investigate Potential \u2018Market Manipulation,\u2019 Cautions Against \u2018Internet Trading Schemes,\u2019 \u2018A Flash Mob With Money\u2019\">expressed deep concern<\/a> about India&#8217;s potential involvement in the assassination and emphasized \u2062the importance of a thorough investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trudeau clarified that Canada seeks to uncover the\u2063 truth and hold those responsible accountable, without seeking to provoke or escalate the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u200dsteps can both Canada\u2063 and India take to address the underlying \u200cissues that have strained their relationship,\u200c including trade, human rights, and \u200cSikh extremism<\/h2>\n<p><span>  H leader. Nijjar was\u200c shot and killed in India in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The allegations have further strained the already delicate relationship between Canada and India. This recent development comes after years of strained ties, particularly since Trudeau took office in 2015. The two nations have \u2062had disagreements over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-does-this-picture-show-donald-trump-refusing-to-shake-justin-trudeaus-hand\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Does This Picture Show Donald Trump Refusing To Shake Justin Trudeau\u2019s Hand?\">issues including trade<\/a>, human rights, and\u200b Sikh extremism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u2064Indian government\u2063 has vehemently denied\u2064 any \u200cinvolvement in Nijjar&#8217;s killing. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi stated \u2064that the allegations \u200dwere &#8220;baseless and unacceptable.&#8221; The Indian government\u200b has\u200b called \u200bon Canada to provide evidence\u200c to support its claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, several Sikh organizations in Canada have demanded \u2062a thorough investigation into Nijjar&#8217;s death\u2064 and the \u200dalleged Indian connection. They argue that \u2064the Canadian government must take these allegations seriously and hold India accountable if proven\u2064 true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The issue of Sikh separatism \u200dhas long been a\u2063 sensitive subject in the bilateral relationship between Canada and India. Canada has \u2064a significant Sikh population, and many Sikhs have sought asylum \u2062in the country due to their involvement in the movement for an independent Sikh state, known as Khalistan. India\u200b considers this movement as a threat to its national security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trudeau&#8217;s government has been accused of\u2064 being sympathetic\u200d towards Sikh separatism, a \u200bcharge he vehemently denies. However, his \u2064administration has faced criticism\u200b for its handling of Sikh-related issues, including inviting convicted Sikh extremist Jaspal\u200b Atwal to official\u200b events during Trudeau&#8217;s visit to India in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Indian government&#8217;s denial and \u200cthe Canadian Sikh\u2064 community&#8217;s demand for an \u200dinvestigation have further increased tensions between the two nations. The issue threatens to overshadow \u200dother \u200dareas of cooperation, including trade and investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both countries need to find \u2062a way to address\u2062 these allegations and rebuild trust. It is important for Canada to present any evidence it may have to support its claims and for India to cooperate fully in any investigation. Transparency and accountability\u200d are crucial in resolving\u200c such sensitive matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, the two governments should engage in meaningful dialogue to address the underlying issues\u2063 that \u2064have strained their relationship.
