Trudeau was responding this morning to media reports that India wants as many as 41 of 62 remaining Canadian envoys out of the country.
He refused to confirm the reports, saying only that Ottawa wants responsible and constructive discussions and has no interest in escalating the dispute.
Nijjar, a 45-year-old Sikh leader India had long accused of links to terrorism, was killed outside a temple in Surrey, B.C. “Obviously, we’re going through an extremely challenging time with India right now,” Trudeau said today on Parliament Hill. Trudeau’s allegation “was not consistent with our policy,” Jaishankar told a panel discussion Friday hosted by the Hudson Institute.
