In the wake of Canada's allegations about India's ‘potential’ involvement in the killing of a Khalistani separatist on its soil, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that New Delhi conveyed to Ottawa that it is not the government of India's policy and it is open to looking at ‘specific’ and ‘relevant’ information.


“Yes, I do have a comment. I'll share with you very frankly what we told the Canadians,” Jaishankar said during a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) here Tuesday when asked if he had any comment on the allegations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that “agents” of the government of India are linked to the killing of a Canadian Sikh.


"One, we told the Canadians that this is not the government of India's policy. Two, we told the Canadians saying that look, if you have something specific, if you have something relevant, let us know. We are open to looking at it,” he said during a conversation with former US Ambassador to India and CFR Distinguished Fellow Kenneth Juster.


Jaishankar asserted that one has to understand the context. “You also have to appreciate that in the last few years, Canada actually has seen a lot of organised crime relating to the secessionist forces, organised crime, extremism. They're all very, very deeply mixed up,” he said.
