Trudeau walked into a trap, says former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

Amid a row between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a “designated” terrorist also associated with the banned group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh dismissed the claims of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that there was an Indian hand in the murder.

Mr. Singh said Nijjar’s murder was the result of a factional feud within the management of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara situated at Surrey in Canada.

He said Mr. Trudeau had unfortunately “walked into a trap owing to vote bank politics” and put at stake the diplomatic relationship between India and Canada. “It was highly irresponsible for the Prime Minister of a country to make a statement without any evidence only because he was playing to the vote bank gallery,” he said.
