Admitted it! "Canadian surveillance of Indian diplomats"
According to the Associated Press on September 21, a Canadian official said on the same day that the accusation of India's involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh was based on surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada and intelligence provided by important allies.
The report quoted the official as saying that these communication messages involve Indian officials and Indian diplomats in Canada, some of which were provided by one of the members of the Five Eyes Alliance.
The official, who declined to be named, did not specify which ally provided the intelligence, nor did he disclose the specific content of the communication or how Canada obtained this information.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was the first to report on the details of this intelligence.
The report pointed out that Canada has not provided any public evidence to support Trudeau's allegations, and Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Ray hinted on the 21st that Canada may not disclose the evidence in the short term.
According to reports, India's security and intelligence agencies have been operating in South Asia for a long time and are suspected of causing multiple assassination incidents in Pakistan. But the murder of a Canadian citizen in mainland Canada is unprecedented. Canada has nearly 2 million people of Indian descent.
According to Reuters on September 21, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau called on India to cooperate with the investigation into the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia and stated that Canada will not disclose evidence.
According to reports, on the 21st, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News Department quoted sources as saying that after several months of investigating the murder case, the Canadian government has gained a large amount of intelligence.
Trudeau said at a press conference during his attendance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, "There is no doubt that India is an increasingly important country and we need to continue to cooperate with it... We do not want to provoke or provoke conflicts. However, our position on upholding the rule of law and protecting Canadian citizens is resolute. Therefore, we call on the Indian government to cooperate with us and establish procedures to discover and uncover the truth behind the events."
The report also stated that US National Security Advisor Jack Sullivan said on the 21st that the US is in contact with Canada and India, confirming for the first time that Washington is in dialogue with New Delhi on this matter.
According to the Financial Times on the 21st, US President Biden and several members of the Five Eyes Alliance also raised the murder of Hadip Singh Nijar with Indian Prime Minister Modi during their meeting with the G20 this month.
