Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, triggered a diplomatic storm on Monday by saying there was “credible evidence” India was responsible for the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Canadian Sikh leader, in June. While rejecting the allegations, the ministry said it urged the Canadian government to “take prompt and effective legal action against all anti-India elements operating from their soil”.“I don’t talk about Five Eyes intelligence at a press conference, funnily enough, that’s why it’s called intelligence, because we don’t speculate on what the intelligence is,” the Australian prime minister said.
