Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing | Not ruling out probe if evidence is provided, says Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said that the government is open to the idea of an investigation into the killing of Canadian citizen and Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Mr. Jaishankar was speaking at the Royal Overseas League in London on Wednesday evening at an event organised by a U.K. government think tank, Wilton Park, and the Indian High Commission. ‘Diplomats intimidated’ “We feel that Canadian politics has given space to violent and extreme political opinions, which advocate separatism from India, including through violent means,” Mr. Jaishankar said, adding that Indian diplomats were intimidated and properties in Canada — such as the High Commission — were attacked. “And this is a country where there is a previous history,” Mr. Jaishankar said, as he reminded the audience of the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing by Khalistani separatists in Canada.
