The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued a strong response to a Canadian media report that claims to link Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The MEA vehemently rejected the report, calling it a "ludicrous smear campaign" aimed at tarnishing India’s image. The Ministry stated that the allegations were not only false but also politically motivated.
In its statement, the MEA expressed outrage over what it described as baseless claims, asserting that the allegations were made without any credible evidence. The report, which suggests a connection between PM Modi and the murder of Nijjar, was dismissed as an attempt to undermine India’s democratic processes and its leadership.
The MEA also stressed that India has always maintained that it is committed to the rule of law and upholds justice, rejecting any attempt to politicize a legal matter. The Canadian report, which has stirred controversy, has not been corroborated by any verified sources or official investigations.
In response to the claims, Indian officials have made it clear that the country will not tolerate any attempts to interfere in its internal affairs or malign its leadership based on unfounded allegations. The MEA’s statement reiterates India’s strong stance on safeguarding its sovereignty and dismisses the report as part of a broader strategy to defame the country.
This heated exchange between India and Canada adds to the ongoing diplomatic tensions, with both sides asserting their positions on the matter. While the Canadian government has not officially supported the claims, the issue has sparked widespread debate in both nations regarding the implications of such accusations.
As the diplomatic row continues, India remains firm in its response, emphasizing its commitment to truth and rejecting any external interference in its internal matters.
