"I am not part of The Five Eyes, FBI...": S Jaishankar On Hardeep Singh Nijjar Killing Intel
New Delhi: Against the backdrop of the ongoing diplomatic dispute surrounding the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar , India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar , has voiced apprehensions regarding the presence of "organized criminal activities intertwined with secessionist movements, violence, and extremism" in Canada . He has also underscored that these issues have endured due to political considerations within Canada.
During a discourse at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Jaishankar articulated, "Over the past few years, Canada has witnessed a significant rise in organized crime associated with secessionist movements, along with instances of violence and extremism. These issues are intricately intertwined. As a matter of fact, we have been engaged in discussions concerning specific incidents and information related to these concerns."
When questioned about reports suggesting the involvement of the Five Eyes alliance in intelligence activities related to Nijjar's assassination and the FBI 's warning to Sikh leaders in the United States of "credible threats," Jaishankar responded, "I am not part of The Five Eyes, I am certainly not part of the FBI. So I think you are asking the wrong person."
The Five Eyes is an intelligence consortium composed of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
With regards to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations, Jaishankar reassured that India would take appropriate action if Canada provided specific information regarding the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Nijjar.
