India Targeted by Canada: A Case of Nationalism and Counter-Terrorism

Hindustan Times  

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has blamed Unio home minister Amit Shah, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and former Secretary (R&AW) Samant Goel for the murder of Khalistan Tiger Force terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18, 2023. Trudeau has accused them of being pro-Bharat and anti-US, and has called for evidence against India from them as a Five Eyes alliance partner. However, legal jurisprudence in Canada demands proof beyond reasonable doubt to be declared guilty of a criminal offence, and Trudeau has not provided any hard evidence to support his allegations.
