How did the Indian foreign Minister react to Khalistani terror?
India’s Foreign Minister Jaishankar said on Trudeau’s allegations that whatever is happening in Canada on the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar is mostly due to their internal politics and has nothing to do with India. Jaishankar said this while answering the question why Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is criticizing India.
Jaishankar said that a section of pro- Khalistani people are using Canada’s democracy, creating a lobby and becoming a vote bank. In Canada, the ruling party does not have a majority in Parliament and some parties are dependent on pro-Khalistani leaders. We have persuaded them many times not to grant visas, legality or political space to people who are creating problems for them (Canada), us and our relations. But the Canadian government has not done anything.
He said that Canada has not provided any evidence. They do not share any evidence with us in some cases, police agencies also do not cooperate with us. In Canada, it is their political compulsion to blame India. As elections are approaching in Canada, they have got involved in vote bank politics.
One special thing is that Khalistani supporters are allies in the Trudeau government. Khalistani supporter and New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh’s party is also an ally in the Tudo government. This is also one of the reasons why Justin Trudeau does not take the risk of taking action against the Khalistanis.
