India fails to respond Canadian accusations against Amit Shah
New Delhi: India has failed to give any official response to Canadian accusations on the involvement of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah for being behind “a campaign of violence and intimidation” targeting pro-Khalistan activists.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were “ever clearer indications” that India violated Canada’s sovereignty by targeting Sikh separatist activists in its territory. India’s actions, Trudeau added, were a “horrific mistake”
Canada also accused Indian home minister Amit Shah of being behind “a campaign of violence and intimidation” targeting pro-Khalistan activists, a statement that is likely to aggravate the ongoing diplomatic spat between Ottawa and New Delhi.
There has been no official response from India so far, though Reuters reported on Wednesday that government officials had rejected the accusation.
Deputy foreign affairs minister David Morrison told members of the national security committee on Tuesday that the government considers Shah “the architect of the campaign” against Sikh separatists in Canada, including the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year.
