00:00 The relationship between Canada and India is not doing well right now.
00:05 The government of India and Canada have been at odds since September 2023 over the claims
00:11 made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that India killed Khalistani separatist Hardeep
00:17 Singh Nidhia who was residing in Canada.
00:20 Now once more, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has emphasised that Ottawa wants to work constructively
00:26 with New Delhi on this very serious matter but he has also retaliated his accusations
00:31 that Canada did not want to be in a fight with India at this time.
00:36 However, in his Friday media address, the Canadian Prime Minister criticised India once
00:41 again stressing that India had broken the Vienna Convention by removing more than 40
00:45 Canadian diplomats from the country after New Delhi threatened to revoke their diplomatic
00:50 immunity.
00:52 In his fresh remarks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his government reached out
00:55 to India to ask them to work together in getting to the bottom of this matter.
01:00 "From the very beginning, we have learned that credible allegations that agents of Indian
01:05 government were involved in killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.
01:10 We reached out to India to ask them to work together with us in getting to the bottom
01:14 of this matter," speaking to the media, the Canadian Prime Minister said.
01:18 He added this is a serious violation of international law and the sovereignty of a democracy.
01:23 He said that Canada has also reached out to its friends and allies including United States
01:27 and others and continued by saying that this is something that Canada is taking very seriously.
01:32 Well, the relationship between India and Canada is severely strained after Mr Trudeau accused
01:37 Indian operatives of having a potential role in June 18 killing of Khalistani terrorist
01:42 Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
01:44 India had already designated Nijjar as a terrorist back in 2020.
01:49 Trudeau's accusations were already dismissed by India as absurd and baseless.
01:53 More than a month after they were put on hold, India has somehow offered starting certain
01:58 visa services to Canada again last month.
02:00 Nevertheless, India might respond in kind with these fresh remarks from the Canadian
02:05 Prime Minister once again.
