Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted that when he accused Indian agents of being involved in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year, he only had intelligence information. There was no concrete evidence.
The Trudeau government has earlier claimed that it had given evidence related to the Nijjar murder case to India. At the same time, India has been saying that Canada did not give any evidence related to this murder. After Trudeau's statement, the Indian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday (17 October) that the Canadian PM is responsible for the deterioration of relations between the two countries.
Meanwhile, an investigation committee was formed regarding foreign interference in Canadian politics. Trudeau appeared in it on Wednesday. In this, he said - I had received intelligence information from the Five Eyes countries, which made it clear that India was involved in the murder of its citizen on Canadian soil.
Trudeau told the investigation committee that India did not help in the investigation.
Trudeau told the investigation committee that he hoped that India would deal with the matter responsibly so that relations between the two countries do not deteriorate, but the Indian officials did not help us in the investigation.
Trudeau said that there are clear indications that India has targeted Sikhs in Canada and violated our sovereignty. Trudeau termed India's action as a 'big mistake'.
Foreign Ministry said - Trudeau proved our argument right.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that we have been saying this continuously. Canada did not provide any evidence to prove the allegations made by it against India and Indian diplomats. Trudeau is solely responsible for the damage caused to India-Canada relations due to this careless attitude.
What is Five Eyes
Five Eyes is an alliance of five countries, which share intelligence inputs with each other. It includes America, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
Terrorist Pannu said - Gave anti-India information to Canada.

He has informed Trudeau about the intelligence network of the Indian High Commission.
Pannu currently lives in the US and runs an organization called Sikh for Justice. He has citizenship in both the US and Canada.
