This is the best summary I could come up with:
“If this was an operation sponsored by the Indian government, it certainly doesn’t help them to have come to light at a moment when they’re trying to position themselves as a kind of fulcrum in international affairs,” said Roland Paris, a professor at the University of Ottawa and a former foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trudeau.
As he headed into a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning before flying to New York for the General Assembly, Mr. Trudeau rejected India’s denial and again called on it to take his assassination allegation seriously.
The Canadian security agencies, noting the continuing police investigation into the killing and the need to protect intelligence gathering methods, have declined to offer any more details.
He then traveled earlier this month to New Delhi to attend a Group of 20 international summit meeting that was framed by the Indian prime minister as an important validation of his leadership in advance of coming elections.
Mr. Trudeau’s strong public statements and demands for India’s cooperation in the investigation may deflect criticism that his government failed to deal decisively with allegations of Chinese interference in Canadian politics and elections.
“If it’s true that India was behind this killing, then it represents the most offensive and appalling form of political interference in a democracy that would parallel the behavior of some of the worst authoritarian leaders in the world.”
