OTTAWA, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Canada worked “very closely” with the United States on intelligence that Indian agents had been potentially involved in the murder of a Sikh leader in British Columbia earlier this year, a senior Canadian government source said on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that domestic intelligence agencies were actively pursuing credible allegations tying New Delhi’s agents to the shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, in June.
The dispute deals a fresh blow to diplomatic ties that have been fraying for years, with New Delhi unhappy over Sikh separatist activity in Canada.
“I would expect that normal discussions between the two governments will be difficult while this issue is being resolved,” said Roland Paris, Trudeau’s former foreign policy adviser and a professor of international affairs at the University of Ottawa.
Now some, including Canada’s Conservative opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, are urging Trudeau to show the evidence that the government has in hand.
“These are complex matters for governments and intelligence agencies to sort out, and it’ll be interesting to see what information in the end is provided to the public and/or to law enforcement authorities,” professor Paris said.
