VANCOUVER — The son of Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar says his father was meeting regularly with Canadian intelligence officers in the months before he was shot dead in British Columbia, in a killing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says has
Balraj Nijjar says in an interview that his father was meeting Canadian Security Intelligence Service officers"once or twice a week," including one or two days before the June 18 killing, with another meeting scheduled for two days after his death.
Trudeau announced to Parliament on Monday that intelligence services were investigating"credible" information about"a potential link" between India's government and the killing.Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-based spokesman for the group Sikhs for Justice and a close associate of Nijjar, says Nijjar had asked Canadian authorities whether he should wear a bulletproof vest in the weeks before he was gunned down.
He says they told Nijjar he shouldn't go to his gurdwara at his usual times and he should avoid being seen in public."We weren't worried about safety because we weren't doing anything wrong. We were just using freedom of speech," he said.
