There are many supporters of Khalistan in Canada, but they do not represent the Sikh Community as a whole. Similarly, there are supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in Canada, but they do not represent all Hindu Canadians,” Canadian PM Trudeau said.
The relations between the two countries became strained after Mr. Trudeau pointed out in September last year of a “potential” involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar’s killing, the allegation India rejected categorically as “absurd”.
India has been objecting to Canada giving space to pro-Khalistan elements operating from Canadian soil.
