"Claims Are Baseless" Says Former Envoy Sanjay Verma On Trudeau’s Allegations

Former Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma has pushed back against allegations made by former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau linking India to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Speaking in an interview, Verma described the claims as politically driven and lacking credible evidence. He questioned why no charges have been filed despite repeated assertions, and said the issue was unnecessarily escalated at the cost of strong India-Canada ties. Verma also rejected claims of interference, asserting that India respects the sovereignty of other nations and does not meddle in their internal affairs, calling for a more balanced and evidence-based approach.
