According to Reuters, Trudeau said, “The Indian government needs to take this matter very seriously.” We are doing the same. We are not inciting or trying to escalate this.” Trudeau has claimed a possible connection between Nijjar’s murder and an agent of the Indian government.
Along with the allegations, Canada took action by expelling a senior Indian diplomat. After a few hours, India also took action and expelled the Canadian diplomat.
