Jaishankar briefed PM Modi on Canada issue: Sources

New Delhi (IANS). In view of the diplomatic standoff between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the developments.

According to sources, Jaishankar met the Prime Minister in the Parliament House complex and it is understood that he informed him about the developments related to Canada.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries reached an all-time low when on September 18, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged in his Parliament that Canadian security agencies were using agents of the Indian government and Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh in British Columbia in June. We are actively pursuing credible allegations of a possible connection between the murder of Nijjar.

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said the same day that an Indian diplomat had been expelled.

India on Tuesday expelled a senior Canadian diplomat, calling Trudeau’s allegations “absurd and motivated”.

The Indian government on Tuesday (September 19) summoned Canada’s High Commissioner to India (Cameron MacKay), informing him of its decision to expel a senior Canadian diplomat currently posted in the country. A statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs said that the diplomat concerned has been officially instructed to depart from India within the next five days.

“This decision reflects the Government of India’s growing concern over the interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal affairs and their involvement in anti-India activities,” the statement further said.
