The US on Tuesday said that it was “deeply concerned” over Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations against India over its alleged involvement in killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
“We are deeply concerned about the allegations referenced by Prime Minister Trudeau earlier today,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson was quoted as saying The AP.
“We remain in regular contact with our Canadian partners. It is critical that Canada’s investigation proceed and the perpetrators be brought to justice,” she added.
Notably, Canada is part of the US led North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
Earlier, India rejected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegation that it played a role in the killing of Nijjar and called the allegations absurd and motivated.
