Ottawa. India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, has asked Canada to produce evidence in support of allegations linking the Indian government to the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. Canada accused India of involvement in the September killing of Canadian citizen Nijjar in a suburb of Vancouver, which India described as a terrorist. Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India after New Delhi asked Ottawa to reduce its staff by equalizing diplomatic presence following tensions over the issue.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, High Commissioner Verma said that the Canadian police investigation into the June killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey had been damaged by public statements by a high-ranking Canadian official. Verma asserted that ‘we have not been given any specific or relevant information to help us investigate the case.’ Ever since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leveled these allegations against India, India has vehemently denied the claims. He has asked Canada to curb anti-India activities within the country.

Where is the proof?
India’s High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma said, ‘Where is the proof? Where is the conclusion of the investigation? I would go a step further and say that the investigation has already been tainted. There have been instructions from the highest level that India or Indian agents are behind this. The High Commissioner explained how the security risks posed to him and other Indian diplomatic personnel in the country. Referring to photographs of posters attacking him and the Indian consul general in Vancouver and Toronto, Verma told a Canadian newspaper, ‘I think this is hate speech and incites violence. I am worried about my safety. I am concerned about the safety of our Consul Generals. God forbid if anything happens.

‘Show me how you recorded this conversation’
Earlier reports said Indian diplomats sent intelligence to Ottawa, which was intercepted by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Verma categorically denied this and said that any conversations between diplomats are protected and cannot be used as evidence in court or made public. Verma said, ‘You are talking about illegal wiretapping and you are talking about evidence. Communications between two diplomats are protected under all international laws. Show me how you recorded this conversation. Show me that no one copied the sound.

Canada must rein in Khalistan supporters
Asked about the need for better diplomatic ties, Verma said both sides need to ensure that any dispute is resolved through professional communication and professional dialogue. He said that India hopes so Canada Khalistan will rein in supporters. Referring to the investigation into Nijjar’s death, he said let the investigation do its job. However, the Indian diplomat said that Canada should also deal with India’s main concern. He should not allow a group of Canadian citizens to use his land who want to break up India.
