Canadian PM Justin Trudeau came to India in 2023 for the G20 summit.
The Canadian government has rejected media reports which said that Prime Minister Modi was aware of the planning to kill Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A report in Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail claimed that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval also knew about this.
The Trudeau government issued a statement on Friday clarifying that there is no evidence that the Indian Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and the NSA are linked to criminal activities in Canada.
In a statement issued by the Intelligence Advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Canada, it was said, 'On October 14, due to the threat to the safety of citizens, officials said that agents of the Indian government were behind the ongoing criminal activities in Canada. '
PM Modi and Trudeau met at G20 summit
Earlier, during the G20 Summit in Brazil, a picture of PM Modi and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau came together, after which it was believed that this could start melting the ice in the relations between the two countries.
However, the very next day of this meeting, the Trudeau government increased the security checks of passengers coming to India. Because of this, passengers have to go through strict security checks at the airport. According to Canadian news agency CBC, officials did not give a reason for increasing the security checks.
Nijjar was murdered while leaving the Gurudwara. On the evening of June 18, 2023, Nijjar was shot dead while leaving a Gurudwara in Surrey city. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau had accused the Indian government of involvement in Nijjar's murder, which India rejected.
After this, relations between the two countries became very tense. Foreign Minister Jaishankar had alleged that Canada gives visas to those who are wanted in India. He had said, 'People associated with organized crimes in Punjab are welcomed in Canada.'
At the same time, the Parliament of Canada had paid tribute to Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on the completion of one year of his murder. For this, one minute silence was kept in the Parliament.
