Congress on Tuesday extended its support to the Centre, saying that the party has always believed that the nation’s interests and concerns must be kept foremost. This came after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed India for the death of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and expelled an Indian diplomat.
Jairam Ramesh, communication chief of Congress, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter “The Indian National Congress has always believed that our country’s fight against terrorism has to be uncompromising, especially when terrorism threatens India’s sovereignty, unity and integrity”.
“Our country’s interests and concerns must be kept paramount at all times,” he added.
The biggest joker
Abhishek Manu Singhvi, a senior Congress MP slammed Justin Trudeau, calling him “dangerous for India as any other anti-India propagandist”
“Justin Trudeau is the biggest joker masquerading as a leader that currently exists on the planet. He is as dangerous for India as any other anti-India propagandist. India should immediately reduce security from the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi. Pathetic!,” he tweeted.
India rejects Justin Trudeau’s claim
India has categorically denied Justin Trudeau’s claim that there may have been a “potential link” between Nijjar’s murder and Indian government officials.
India rejected Trudeau’s assertion, calling it “baseless” and “motivated,” suggesting that it lacked factual support and might have been motivated by political or other unintended purposes.
Following Justin Trudeau’s remarks in the Canadian Parliament, Melanie Joly, the country’s foreign minister, declared that a senior Indian diplomat had been dismissed. The head of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Pavan Kumar Rai, was reportedly the diplomat who was removed, according to Joly’s office.
India’s response
In response for Ottawa’s expulsion of an Indian official in the case, India also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat.
India’s intention to expel a top Canadian official was formally informed to the Canadian High Commissioner to India, Cameron MacKay. The measure was taken, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), to express New Delhi’s growing concern about the “interference of Canadian diplomats in our internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities.”
