Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged India to cooperate with Canada’s investigation into the killing of a Sikh leader that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged may have been carried out by India’s government, amid a worsening diplomatic spat between two key US partners.
Blinken said it was imperative the probe into the slaying of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead in a Vancouver suburb in June, be allowed to proceed unimpeded.
“We are extremely vigilant about any instances of alleged transnational repression — it’s something we take very, very seriously,” he said. Canada expelled an Indian diplomat alleged to be an spy for India’s external intelligence service. India has also expelled a Canadian diplomat, followed up by suspending visa services for Canadians looking to travel to India. New Delhi has decried threats against Indian diplomats there and the “deteriorating security environment in Canada.
