Canada's Foreign Minister, Melanie Joly, addressed a press conference on Thursday, confirming that her government had engaged in numerous conversations with Indian officials regarding the "credible allegations" related to the killing of Khalistani activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This statement followed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's remarks in the Canadian Parliament on this matter.

Joly also commented on the unprecedented decision to remove diplomatic immunities for 41 Canadian diplomats and their dependents in Delhi.
