This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trudeau said Tuesday Canada wasn’t trying to “provoke” India or “escalate” the situation, but was “simply laying out the facts.” He said his government will “follow the evidence and make sure that the work is done to hold people to account.”
Canada’s allegation the Indian government was potentially involved in the June killing of prominent Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar has outraged New Delhi, which has vehemently denied the claim, calling it “absurd and motivated.”
Experts say the falling out raises the prospect of an unprecedented rift between two key partners of the United States, and potentially puts other major Western countries in an uncomfortable position.
Pannun, who faces multiple charges from the Indian government, runs a New York-based outfit called “Sikhs for Justice,” which has held referendums for a separate Khalistan state.
Canada’s allegations come days after Modi hosted world leaders including US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australia’s Anthony Albanese for the G20 summit in New Delhi.
The White House is “deeply concerned” about the allegations, National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said, adding it was “critical that Canada’s investigations proceed and the perpetrators be brought to justice.”
