S Jaishankar drew attention to the issue of organised crime in Canada, particularly that which is linked to secessionist forces, violence, and extremism.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reiterated India's stance on the allegations levelled by Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, stressing that India does not engage in such acts as a matter of "policy".
The diplomatic row between India and Canada was triggered after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that his government has "credible allegations" of India's involvement in the June killing of Nijjar on Canadian soil.
Speaking at the Council for Foreign Relations in New York on Tuesday, Mr Jaishankar drew attention to the issue of organised crime in Canada, particularly that which is linked to secessionist forces, violence, and extremism. He also expressed concern about Canada's apparent willingness to tolerate such activities for political reasons.
