India rejected Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegations of the Indian government's involvement in the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement dismissing Trudeau's claims in the Canadian Parliament as 'absurd and motivated.' The statement said: "We have seen and reject the statement of the Canadian Prime Minister in their Parliament, as also the statement by their Foreign Minister. Allegations of Government of India's involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and motivated...We are a democratic polity with a strong commitment to rule of law." In the statement, India also criticized the Canadian government for sympathizing with Khalistani terrorists by sheltering them on Canadian soil, which threatens India's sovereignty.
