NEW DELHI: Uneasy ties between India and Canada dipped further this week after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau told parliament that there were “credible allegations” linking Indian agents to the killing of pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar (already branded a terrorist by India) in Canada in June this year. India has denied the allegations and has called out Canada for being a safe haven for terrorists. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale takes a look back at the tumultuous years of insurgency in Punjab and the demand for a separate Khalistan.
