"We Told The Canadians...": S Jaishankar Doubles Down On Trudeau's Charges

Canada actually has seen a lot of organised crime relating to the secessionist forces, organised crime, violence, extremism, said S Jaishankar.

Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has reacted sharply to Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleging India's role in a Khalistani terrorist's killing, saying this is not his government's policy. India has informed Canada that is open to looking at specific and relevant information in this regard, he said. "We told the Canadians that this is not the government of India's policy. We told them that look, if you have something specific, if you have something relevant, let us know. We are open to looking at it," he said.

Trudeau's allegation that Indian agents could be involved in Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing led to a strong India's resistance earlier this month and expelling of diplomats from both sides, triggering a rare diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

Mr Jaishankar shared his comments on the issue in a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
