The Indian National Congress has always believed that our country's fight against terrorism has to be uncompromising, especially when terrorism threatens India's sovereignty, unity and integrity. Our country's interests and concerns must be kept paramount at all times.#Canada

The Congress has backed the government amid escalating tensions with Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. After Canadian PM Justin Trudeau alleged Indian agents were involved, the Centre denied the "absurd" charges. Congress communications head Jairam Ramesh stated the party believes India's fight against terrorism must be uncompromising, especially when sovereignty and integrity are threatened. He said the country's interests and concerns must come first. Opposition parties commonly support the government on international issues despite domestic differences. Tensions have risen as both countries expelled diplomats over the murder on Canadian soil, which India says shelters Khalistani extremists.
