Canada’s former national security adviser (NSA) Jody Thomas has said that initial intelligence and police probe had suggested Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in retaliation for the murder of Ripudaman Singh Malik, who was accused of involvement in the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing.
Thomas’s remark confirmed India’s stance that there is no involvement of the Government of India in Nijjar’s killing and PM Justin Trudeau’s “baseless” allegations are part of his government’s smear campaign against New Delhi.
Notably, Thomas was Canada’s NSA at the time when Nijjar was gunned down in Surrey last year. The former NSA’s comments came after she appeared before Canada’s foreign interference inquiry and claimed that certain members of the Canadian Sikh community were not satisfied with the assessment that Nijjar’s killing was a tit-for-tat for Malik’s murder.
