India's Foreign Minister Urges Canada to Address Extremist Threats

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reiterated India's denial of involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, stating that India does not engage in such acts as a matter of policy. The diplomatic row between India and Canada escalated after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allegations of India's involvement, which were supported by a US diplomat claiming shared intelligence among Five Eyes partners. Jaishankar highlighted Canada's tolerance of organized crime linked to secessionist forces and expressed concern over its political motivations. India has rejected Canada's baseless allegations and offered to take action if provided with specific evidence. Jaishankar also called on UN member states to resist political convenience in their responses to terrorism and emphasized the importance of respecting territorial integrity and non-interference in internal affairs.
