Canada reaffirmed its active investigation into the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, following comments by New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters during his Delhi visit. The Canadian Foreign Ministry reiterated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations of Indian government involvement and stressed the importance of respecting the justice process. Peters’ remarks, initially questioning evidence quality, were clarified to emphasize the need for a trial for a full understanding of evidence. New Zealand’s position, stated as awaiting trial outcomes, underscores ongoing diplomatic sensitivity in the India-Canada relationship. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has yet to respond to these developments.
