mangaloretoday.com/ News18

New Delhi, Sep 28, 2023: Amidst the soaring tension between India and Canada, EAM S Jaishankar is set to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington DC today.

The diplomatic crisis between two of America’s friends, its traditional ally Canada and India, is expected to come up during the talks.

Meanwhile, sources have claimed that Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s killing was plotted by ISI to put India on the back foot.

On Wednesday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted a raid at Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Arshdeep Singh aka Arsh Dalla‘s residence and detained his aide Jones, alias Jora.

The ties between New Delhi and Ottawa went sour after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged the Indian government’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India termed the allegations as “absurd” and “motivated” and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a retaliatory move to Canada asking an Indian diplomat to leave the country.
