Indian Envoy Criticizes Canada’s Terrorism Inaction, Denies Involvement in Nijjar Killing

India's High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, criticized Canadian authorities for failing to act against terrorist elements on their soil for over 40 years, citing unresolved cases like the 1985 Air India bombing. He dismissed allegations linking India to the 2023 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar as unsubstantiated, emphasizing the ongoing legal case involves individuals, not the Indian state. Patnaik called for credible evidence and highlighted recent efforts to improve bilateral relations amid trade discussions.
