Justin Trudeau accuses India of involvement in murder
The tension between India and Canada has increased since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made outrageous allegations of India's involvement in the September 18 shooting death of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Nijjar.
The Foreign Ministry rejected the statements
At the same time, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement, that we have seen the statement given by the Prime Minister of Canada in his Parliament and the statement of the Foreign Minister and have rejected it. Allegations of the Indian government's involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and (politically) motivated.
He said, 'Similar allegations were made by the Prime Minister of Canada to our Prime Minister and they were completely rejected. We are a democracy with a strong commitment to the rule of law.
Sri Lanka supported India
Sri Lanka's outgoing High Commissioner to India, Melinda Moragoda, has said India's response to Canada's allegations has been 'strong and direct' and Colombo supports New Delhi in the matter. Addressing a press conference, he said that the people of Sri Lanka have suffered losses due to terrorism and his country has a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism.
Sri Lanka faced terrorism for forty years
Asked about Canada's allegations against India, he said, 'I think India's response has been strong and direct. And I think as far as we are concerned, we support India on this. Moreover, now in my lifetime, I am 60 years old, and 40 years of my life have been spent facing various forms of terrorism in Sri Lanka. I have lost many friends and colleagues due to terrorism.
“We all mean that many Sri Lankans have died because of terrorism,” he said. So, I think our position on these matters is very clear because we have suffered and we have suffered. And as a country that has gone through tolerance for terrorism, it has zero tolerance.

He says that like many people, he is also worried due to the current tension and wants the matter to be resolved through talks.
Regarding the allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on India, Singh said that a Prime Minister should not make such claims that he cannot fulfill. At the same time, Canadian citizen Ajaib Singh says that there should be talks between the two countries with respect. Along with this, he said that both countries should decide that due to this dispute, the future of millions of students coming from India is in danger.
