Indian officials said they have engaged with the partners, but Canada is yet to provide any specific evidence of India’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Remarking on the strained relationship between India and Canada, Michael Rubin said USA's relation with India is "too important" and if need be USA will choose India over Ottawa
US Ambassador to Canada David Cohen claimed that there was "shared intelligence among Five Eyes partners" behind Justin Trudeau's allegations against India
As Canada, despite being aware of his criminal antecedents, tries to persuade the world that Hardeep Singh Nijjar was merely a religious leader, it has surfaced that USA had also placed the slain Khalistani terrorist on its 'No-Fly' list
David Eby sought reforms with the Canadian Intelligence Agency so that it can share more information with provincial leaders and not just open source, easily available material on the internet.
Nijjar was granted Canadian citizenship in 2007 despite his involvement in immigration fraud and open allegiance to the cause of secession and terrorism.
Reportedly, the dossier prepared by the Indian intelligence agencies mentioned that Hardeep Singh Nijjar was an associate of terrorists belonging to the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF).
In December 2015, Hardeep Nijjar conducted a terror training camp in Canada, where radicalised youths were taught to use AK-47 rifles, sniper rifles, and pistols.
