Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asserted that India violated Canada's sovereignty with the allegations of involvement in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, saying, "The Indian government made a horrific mistake in thinking that they could interfere as aggressively as they did in the safety and sovereignty of Canada." He emphasized that a response was needed to ensure the safety of Canadians.
In response to the ongoing diplomatic spat, a US official urged India to take Canada's allegations seriously, and emphasized the need for cooperation with the investigation, stating it was vital for maintaining international relations.
A UK government spokesperson expressed their support for Canada's judicial system, emphasizing that respect for sovereignty and the rule of law is essential, and confirmed ongoing communication with Canadian partners regarding these serious developments in the case.
Despite the severity of the allegations, an unnamed official from the Indian Foreign Ministry suggested that the diplomatic row will not greatly affect India's relations with the US and UK, highlighting that ties with those nations remain strong.
