The Canadian inquiry into the death of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has gained momentum, with the United States urging India to cooperate in the investigation. Canada alleges that Indian government agents may have been involved in Nijjar's death, a claim India vehemently denies. The U.S. supports Canada's investigation and calls for bringing the perpetrators to justice. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller expressed concern and emphasized the importance of Indian cooperation. Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and advocate for an independent Sikh state, was labeled a "terrorist" by India. The situation continues to impact diplomatic relations.
