Ottawa: While giving a statement on Wednesday in connection with the public inquiry into foreign interference in federal electoral processes and democratic institutions, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to be imposing a favor on India. In the case of murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, he said that there was a G-20 summit organized by India in September last year. This was a big opportunity for India and if Canada had made these allegations public at that time, it could have created a very uncomfortable situation for India in this summit.
Trudeau said that we decided not to do this. We decided to continue working behind the scenes so that India cooperates with us. Trudeau said the Indian side asked for evidence 'and our answer was, it is with your security agencies. But the Indian side insisted on evidence, Trudeau said.
