Tension between India and Canada has increased.

After Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed the hand of Indian agencies behind the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijhar, various leaders are reacting.

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh has dismissed Trudeau's claims outright.

Capt. Amarinder Singh said that this murder is the result of infighting among the management of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Sahib in Surrey, Canada.

The former Chief Minister of Punjab said that Trudeau has unfortunately fallen into the trap of vote bank politics and has put the diplomatic relations between India and Canada at stake.

Captain Amarinder Singh said that it is very irresponsible for the Prime Minister of a country to make a statement without any proof as he is doing all this for the vote bank.

Has the Government of Canada taken any action against the culprits who attacked Indian missions there?

He said that while Trudeau is trying to divert attention from his failures in stopping anti-India activities in that country by making such allegations.

Captain Amarinder said that he had brought to Trudeau's notice how Canadian land was being used by forces against India.

He said when he met Trudeau at a hotel in Amritsar during his visit to India in 2018, he shared all the information with him.

The former chief minister also praised the Indian government's decision to expel a Canadian diplomat for encouraging anti-India activities.
