'Innocent until proven guilty': Former Indian envoy urges Canada to de-escalate tensions with New Delhi

India TV News  

Amid deepening tensions between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, former Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup has criticised Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for being "reckless" and urged Ottawa to de-escalate the ongoing dispute by revealing the truth. Swarup, who served as India's high commissioner to Canada from 2017 to 2019, reminded the Trudeau government that "everyone is innocent until proven guilty" and further said that Canada will regret accomodating violent Khalistani terrorists on its soil. India-Canada relations nosedived to the lowest point after Trudeau's allegations in Canadian Parliament of "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar, who was gunned down in British Columbia's Surrey on June 18. India also temporarily suspended visa services for Canadian nationals in view of "security threats" and called for a reduction of Canadian diplomats in New Delhi.
