hand of a foreign government

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said in Ottawa on Tuesday that as PM Trudeau said, Canada's intelligence agency has provided information that indicates a foreign government was involved in the murder of the Canadian citizen. Let us tell you, Singh's New Democratic Party is the fourth largest party in the lower house of the Parliament of Canada.

 

 

Responsible people can be brought forward

Describing the allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau against India as very serious, Singh said that his views were based on the intelligence information he received. Therefore, we will continue to urge the Government of Canada to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, so that the people responsible can be brought forward.

Responding to a question from journalists, Singh said the US has been very supportive of Canada's call for transparency from India. “We will continue to emphasize those things,” he said.

 

government did not fail

Singh said that former Governor-General David Johnson was appointed as a special envoy to bring out information about this matter, and this information was obtained from the documents prepared by him. However, now Johnson has resigned from this post. According to one report, the former Governor-General's report concluded that Trudeau's government did not willfully or negligently fail to act on foreign attempts to interfere in the last two federal elections.

 

He said, 'I looked at the documents presented by Johnson and two things were very clear to me. One is that there should be a thorough public inquiry into this matter.' He further said that his opinion was different from Johnson's.

 

The fear of Sikhs being targeted is real

"After reading the documents, it shows a lack of urgency or action on the part of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's Office," he said. There was no haste from the information that came to light after reading it and the Prime Minister did not show promptness in taking action in response to the information.' He further said that the fear of Sikhs being targeted in Canada is real.

 

He said, 'For a long time, people of the Sikh community have been targeted by the Indian government. It had gone unnoticed for a long time, but many people have heard the Prime Minister of a G-7 country giving intelligence information that is related to the murder of a Canadian by a foreign government.' He said that for those who feel Do, this information confirms that suspicion.

 

He alleged that people belonging to many other religious communities of India, have been critical of the Indian government or its policies. He shares this fear.
