Canada has alleged that the Indian government was involved in the fatal shooting of the prominent Sikh leader, who supported an independent homeland in Punjab.
Canada says it has found “credible allegations” that tie agents of the Indian government to the fatal shooting of prominent Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told lawmakers Monday.
Canada is home to one of the world’s largest Sikh diaspora communities and is the site of Sikh activism that has displeased the Indian government — including the Khalistan movement, which seeks to carve out an independent Sikh homeland in India called Khalistan. Nijjar vocally championed that cause.
