Mukesh Aghi, president and chief executive officer of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum. Criticized the Canadian government on Saturday for making claims without supporting documentation. He referred to the allegations that India killed terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar as “unfortunate” and stated they lacked supporting proof.
“A significant matter”—the alleged murder of Nijjar—was brought before the Canadian Parliament, according to Aghi. It is regrettable that a country’s prime minister will make accusations in front of the legislature without being able to back them up with solid proof. “We need to realize how long and rich India and Canada’s connection has been. There are more than 30,000 Indian students studying there, so you have a sizable commerce. Canada has made close to $55 billion in investments in India, he said.
According to Aghi, “mature minds must take control and calm the situation.” The fact that “Canada is going to leverage the United States to put pressure on India” raises Mukesh Aghi’s concern that the scenario may have an immediate impact on US-India ties.
“The geopolitics underpin the US-India relationship. It connected to economic problems. It connected to more than just the Indian American diaspora. Yes, it will have an effect, but with time, the connection will only deepen and become more comprehensive,” he said.
On September 19, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, said that “potential” Indian operatives involved in the murder of Nijjar. Nijjar, a citizen of Canada, killed on June 18 in British Columbia by two hooded assailants. In order to preserve the integrity of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s continuing investigation into the murder. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Canadian authorities have declined to disclose the specifics of the intelligence that obtained concerning India.
