STORY: Trudeau stood in Parliament a week ago to say domestic intelligence agencies were actively pursuing credible allegations linking New Delhi’s officers to the shooting of Canadian national Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, in June.
About a hundred protesters in Toronto burned an Indian flag and hit a cardboard cutout of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a shoe. About 200 protesters also gathered outside the Vancouver consulate.
Canada is home to about 770,000 Sikhs – the largest population of Sikhs outside their home state of Punjab – and in recent years there have been many demonstrations that have irked India.
India called Trudeau’s allegations ‘absurd’. It warned travelers last week that “anti-India activity” was increasing in Canada, calling for “extreme caution,” but it provided no evidence or details on specific incidents.
