A Canadian report has found “no definitive link” between India and the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, contradicting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s earlier claims. The 123-page document, titled ‘Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions,’ also accuses India of meddling in Canadian elections, a charge New Delhi strongly rejects. India’s Ministry of External Affairs called the allegations baseless, stating Canada itself interferes in Indian affairs, enabling illegal migration and organized crime. Nijjar was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey in June 2023, leading to strained India-Canada diplomatic ties and diplomat expulsions.
