‘To deter India…’: Trudeau on Nijjar blame

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau claims his public allegation linking the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar to an Indian official was meant to deter India from similar actions. He stated that the disclosure was done to prevent the information from leaking through the media and to assure Canadians that the government was handling the situation. Trudeau believed that publicly accusing the Indian government would provide an additional level of deterrence and put pressure on them to cease such activities.
