PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau told The Canadian Press in an interview that his statement in the House of Commons about there being credible intelligence linking India’s government to the June 18 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara where he was president came after weeks of “quiet diplomacy” with India.

That included a meeting between Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 Summit in New Delhi, where the two met behind closed doors for 16 minutes.

Trudeau said he had warned India that what it knew would eventually come out and when it did, “they chose to attack us and undermine us with a scale of misinformation and disinformation in their media that was comical.”

Interestingly, Trudeau told The Canadian Press that Canada intends to reveal evidence very much in the fashion the U.S. did when it reaches those points in the investigation, pointing out that the U.S. started its investigation into the attempted murder case in connection to Sikh activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun earlier.

Trudeau said: “Canada is investigating a murder and there are different stakes involved in that and our justice system has different processes,” he said. “But that is unfolding.”
