New Delhi, Sep 21: India on Thursday said there is a degree of prejudice in Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations against it on the killing of a Khalistani separatist in Canada and termed these as “politically motivated”.
The Ministry of External Affairs said Canada did not share any specific information with India on the Hardeep Singh Nijjar case.
India and Canada are embroiled in a diplomatic row over the killing of Nijjar. The row erupted following Trudeau’s allegations of a “potential” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of the separatist leader.
When asked at a press conference whether New Delhi has apprised its views to its leading allies on the diplomatic row with Canada, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said India has conveyed its position.
He also said the Indian high commission and consulates in Canada are temporarily unable to process visa applications in view of disruption of work due to security issues. (Agencies)
