The MEA on Thursday flayed Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his 'One India' statement during his deposition at the Canadian Parliament's Foreign Interference Commission. Slamming Trudeau, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "We have seen comments of PM Trudeau that he believes in One India policy, but so far the actions we have requested against anti-India elements, no action has been taken. There is a gap between actions and words here.

" Testifying regarding his claims on India's alleged involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Trudeau had said, "'One India' is the official Canadian policy, and the fact that there are a number of people in Canada who advocate otherwise does not make it Canadian policy, but also does not make it something that is illegal in Canada." Trudeau's Self Goal In a big confession on Wednesday, Trudeau had said that there was no evidence against New Delhi when he made claims last September about India's involvement in the killing of Khalistani separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau revealed that when India asked for evidence, "at that point, it was primarily intelligence".



"We chose to continue to work behind the scenes to try and get India to cooperate with us...

And our response was, well, it's within your security agencies, you should be looking into how much they know you should be engaging,' Trudeau stated. "And at that point, it was primarily intelligence, not hard evidentiary proof," he added. The Canadian Prime Minister made these remarks while testifying before the Canadian Parliament’s Foreign Interference Commission.

Trudeau was slammed later on by Canadian media for lying and not backing up his claims with proof. MEA Rejects Canada's Bishnoi Gang Claims The MEA also refuted the Canadian Police's claims that the Indian government was using the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to target opponents in Canada, saying, "India has sent 26 extradition requests which are pending with Canada. We have asked Canada and given them identities of people of Lawrence Bishnoi Gang.
