Relations between India and Canada have gone sour with New Delhi recalling its High Commissioner in Ottawa. The ties witnessed a setback after Canada accused India of killing its citizen and Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a claim that has been strongly rejected by India all along. New Delhi, on the other hand, has slammed the country of levelling “baseless” accusations without the existence of evidence.

On allegations against Amit Shah

India has protested in the strongest possible terms the references made by a Canadian minister about Union Home Minister Amit Shah and such “absurd and baseless” allegations will have serious consequences for bilateral ties between the two countries, the Minister of External Affairs has said.

The comments came after Canada’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison on Tuesday alleged that Shah ordered a campaign of violence, intimidation and intelligence-gathering targeting Sikh separatists inside Canada.

Morrison had actually additionally informed Canadian Parliament participants of the nationwide safety board that he had actually validated Shah’s name to The Washington Post, which initially reported the accusations.

Jaiswal stated this discovery that high Canadian federal government authorities purposely dripped unproven insinuations to global media as component of an aware technique to reject India and affect various other countries just validates the sight that the Indian federal government has actually long held concerning the existing Canadian federal government’s political schedule and behavioral pattern.
