‘Ludicrous’: MEA Dismisses Canadian Report Alleging PM Modi Was Aware Of Nijjar Murder Plot
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Wednesday strongly dismissed a Canadian report wherein the country's official alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was aware of a plot to kill pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Calling the claims "ludicrous," the MEA said such assertions further damage the already strained diplomatic ties between India and Canada.
"We do not normally comment on media reports. However, such ludicrous statements made to a newspaper purportedly by a Canadian government source should be dismissed with the contempt they deserve. Smear campaigns like this only further damage our already strained ties," said Randhir Jaiswal, the MEA Official Spokesperson.
