OTTAWA:

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday there were "clear indications" that India had violated Canadian sovereignty.

At a hearing on foreign interference on Wednesday, Trudeau addressed Nijjar's murder, as well as what he termed a broader campaign by Indian government representatives targeting Canadian citizens.

"We had clear and certainly now ever clearer indications that India had violated Canada's sovereignty," Trudeau told the inquiry.

Trudeau said that when Ottawa presented these charges to New Delhi, "the Indian response to these allegations and to our investigations was to double down on attacks against this government... but also to arbitrarily eject dozens of Canadian diplomats from India."
