The man at the centre of the diplomatic storm is Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was gunned down in June. He moved to Canada in 1997 and was a key figure in the Khalistan movement.
In 2014, a few months after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist, took office, Indian authorities issued an arrest warrant for Nijjar. New Delhi described Nijjar as the “mastermind” of the militant group Khalistan Tiger Force.He was accused of being involved in the 2007 bombing of a cinema in Punjab. A 2016 Interpol notice against him alleged he was a “key conspirator” in the attack. He was accused of recruiting and fundraising, a charge that Nijjar vehemently denied.
On Monday, leaders of all three major parties in Canada rose to address the matter in the House of Commons.“Canada is a rule of law,” Trudeau told the House of Commons. “Our country, the protection of our citizens and defence of our sovereignty are fundamental.
