The Biden Administration has actively urged the Indian government to cooperate with Canada’s investigations into the death of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to a US State Department official. The issue strained bilateral ties between India and Canada, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggesting potential Indian involvement in the killing, an allegation India has firmly rejected. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the matter during his recent meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. The State Department spokesperson emphasized ongoing coordination with Canada and reiterated calls for India’s cooperation, though whether India has agreed to cooperate is yet to be clarified by New Delhi.
