India-Canada Diplomatic Row: US Secretary of State Blinken has reportedly urged India to cooperate with the Canadian investigation into the killing of Khalistani sympathiser Hardeep Singh Nijjar in his meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, amid a simmering diplomatic row between New Delhi and Ottawa which snowballed into a massive controversy following the allegations made by Canadian PM Trudeau and subsequently dismissed by India as “absurd and motivated”.
Initially, both sides were tight-lipped on the discussions about the India-Canada diplomatic row, but now Reuters has quoted a US official who said Washington raised the issue during the meeting with India.
“Blinken raised the Canadian matter in his meeting, (and) urged the Indian government to cooperate with Canada’s investigation,” the US official said as quoted by the news agency. However, the State Department statement made no mention of the issue.
