MEA summons Canada's Charge d'Affaires after Trudeau govt's move on Nijjar case
New Delhi, October 14, 2024: India has summoned the Canadian envoy after denying Canada's claim that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats were 'persons of interest' in an investigation.
India on Monday "strongly" rejected a diplomatic communication from Canada suggesting that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats were "persons of interest" in an investigation and termed it as "preposterous imputations" and part of the political agenda of the Justin Trudeau government.
In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made certain allegations in September 2023. However, the Canadian government has not shared a single piece of evidence with the Indian government despite many requests from them.
