Ottawa suspects that New Delhi had links to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
NEW DELHI: India’s main opposition Congress party backed today the government’s rejection of Canada’s suspicions that New Delhi’s agents had links to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader, and urged a stand against threats to the country’s sovereignty.
Today, the Indian foreign ministry did not respond to requests for comment but a government source said New Delhi had nothing new to add.“Trudeau’s defence of declared terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar is absolutely shameful and shows how much the present Canadian regime is in bed with Khalistani sympathisers,” Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a senior Congress lawmaker, posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Our country’s interests and concerns must be kept paramount at all times,” Jairam Ramesh, the chief spokesman of Congress, said in a posting on X. Although there is hardly any support for the insurgency left in India, small groups of Sikhs in Australia, Britain, Canada and the US support the separatist demand and occasionally stage protests outside its embassies.
“We don’t do these things,” the Economic Times newspaper quoted Dulat as telling the Press Trust of India news agency.Canada has the largest population of Sikhs outside the Indian state of Punjab, with about 770,000 people reporting Sikhism as their religion in the 2021 census.
