Indian external affairs minister, S Jaishankar, has stated that the Indian government is open to investigating the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, but has asked the Canadian government to provide evidence to support its claim that Indian agents were involved. Jaishankar emphasised that Canada has not shared any evidence with India thus far. He also highlighted the pro-Khalistani activities in Canada and the attacks on the Indian High Commission, stating that freedom of speech should not be misused for political purposes.
