On Canada PM Justin Trudeau's "India's Agents" Charge, US Says This

India-Canada Tension: India also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat today in a reciprocal move after Canada expelled a senior Indian diplomat.

  India-Canada Tension: India has rejected the allegations as "absurd and motivated".

New Delhi: The US declared it is "deeply concerned" about the charges shortly after the Prime Minister of Canada claimed that India was responsible for the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Speaking for the National Security Council, Adrienne Watson wrote in an email that "the US was deeply concerned about the allegations disclosed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau."

It is crucial that Canada's probe continue and the offenders are prosecuted, Ms. Watson added.

Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, claimed that his country had "credible allegations" connecting Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder to "agents of the Government of India."

The claims have been deemed "absurd and motivated" by India.

Khalistani terrorists and fanatics, who have been given "shelter in Canada and continue to threaten India's sovereignty and territorial integrity," are the target of "such unsubstantiated" charges, according to the foreign ministry.

In retaliation for Canada's expulsion of a senior Indian diplomat, India likewise expelled a top Canadian diplomat today.

The Indian government decided to expulse a top Canadian diplomat stationed there, the ministry reported. "The High Commissioner of Canada to India was summoned today and informed of the decision," it stated.

Unnamed Canadian diplomat has been given five days to depart the country.

India classified Nijjar, who is based in Canada, as a "terrorist."In Surrey, he was shot and killed in June by unidentified assailants next to a gurdwara.

The newrow brought already tense relations between Ottawa and New Delhi to a shocking new low. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with his Canadian colleague at the G 20 Summit in Delhi earlier this month and voiced "strong concerns about the continuing anti-India activities of extremist elements in Canada."
