India’s response follows Canada’s decision to expel a senior Indian diplomat after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the Indian government may have been involved in the murder of a Sikh leader there.
Here is India’s complete response to Canada’s accusations:
We have reviewed the statements made in his Parliament by the Canadian Prime Minister and his Foreign Minister, and we reject them.
Allegations that any act of violence in Canada was committed by the Indian government are ludicrous and fabricated.
Similar claims were made against our Prime Minister by the Prime Minister of Canada, but they were fully refuted.
We have a strong commitment to the rule of law and are a democratic government.
These unfounded accusations aim to draw attention away from Khalistani terrorists and fanatics, who have found refuge in Canada and continue to threaten India’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. The Canadian government’s continued inaction on this issue has long been of concern.
