Premier David Eby says he's deeply disturbed and angry to hear that there is credible evidence of links between the government of India and the killing of a Sikh leader in Surrey.

Eby says he received a further briefing on the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar from Canada's spy agency after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement in Parliament.

The premier says his government will do all it can to enhance protection for the people of BC against the threat of violence from 'state actors'.

Eby says Canadians must be safe from foreign government interference, including the threat of violence and murder.

He says he needs more information from the federal government so the province can better protect people at risk.
