Hardeep Nijjar Killing: 3 Arrested Indians Appear in Court; Canada Reiterates ‘Indian Agents’ Allegations

Hardeep Nijjar Killing: 3 Arrested Indians Appear in Court; Canada Reiterates ‘Indian Agents’ Allegations

The claims that Indian agents killed Hardeep Singh Nijjar remain unproven, according to Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly. This is true, even though there is no proof linking New Delhi to the incident. On Tuesday, three Indian nationals who are charged with killing the country’s designated terrorist made their first appearance via video in a Canadian court. All three Indian nationals living in Edmonton, Karan Brar, 22, Kamalpreet Singh, 22, and Karanpreet Singh, 28, were taken into custody and charged last Friday with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Melanie Joly, in an interview with reporters, stated that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are looking into the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. According to CPAC, she also stated that Canada will keep defending its citizens. Canada has always maintained a clear stance. We must defend Canadians, and we maintain the claim that an Indian agent killed a Canadian citizen on Canadian territory. The RCMP is currently conducting an investigation,” Melanie Joly stated.

Following the Canadian Police’s announcement of the three accused people’s arrests, she made her statement. But as was speculatively reported in Canadian media, Canadian police officers have also not provided any proof of any connection to India. The Globe and Mail, a Canadian news website, reports that on Tuesday, Sikh community members from British Columbia packed a Surrey courthouse to see the first-ever video court appearance of three Indian nationals who are suspected of murdering Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

The three accused, Karan Brar, Karanpreet Singh, and Kamalpreet Singh, were briefly questioned by Judge Delaram Jahani. Brar and Karanpreet Singh decided to make another appearance on May 21 through their counsel. The Globe and Mail stated that Kamalpreet Singh has requested legal representation, but the court has not yet determined a new date for him. From North Fraser Pretrial Center, each of them made their appearance.

The allegations of first-degree murder and plotting to kill Hardeep Singh Nijjar were acknowledged by all three, who also consented to have the hearings conducted in English. A no-contact order that forbids the accused from speaking with any of the seven individuals listed in a part of the Canada Criminal Code was issued by the court to the Crown prosecutor. According to the article, the order names Nijjar’s 21-year-old son Balraj Nijjar along with Harjinder Nijjar, Mehtab Nijjar, Sarandeep Sehaj, Harsimranjeet Singh, Arshdeep Kapoor, and Malkit Singh.

A September Supreme Court of Canada ruling stated that even if found not guilty, the foreign national could still be deported because of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which forbids entry into Canada for those who pose a threat to national security. The ruling was reached unanimously by the nine judges, according to Canadian Lawyer Magazine, which reported on the Vancouver Sun story. The courtroom was filled with hundreds of local supporters of Khalistan. To accommodate an extra fifty people who wished to see the hearing, a second overflow room inside the courthouse was opened. Approximately one hundred other individuals outside the courthouse brandished posters endorsing Sikh separatism and waved Khalistan flags.

On June 18, 2023, in Surrey, a gurdwara was fired, and Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was killed. India responded to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest words about the killing of Nijjar on Thursday by rejecting them and stating that they once again demonstrated the political leeway that Canada has granted to violence, extremism, and separatism. On Sunday, Trudeau spoke at a Khalsa Day gathering in Toronto that included some pro-Khalistan attendees. Trudeau’s claims in September of last year about the “potential” participation of Indian operatives in the 45-year-old Nijjar’s death severely strained ties between India and Canada. Trudeau’s accusations have been brushed off by India as “absurd” and “motivated.”

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Singh visited Swati Maliwal at her home, but the BJP is pressing for action against Vibhav Kumar in this regard. Leaders of the BJP also questioned if Swati Maliwal was under pressure from the AAP, given that no formal complaint has been filed on the assault event. The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

“I would want to inform Arvind Kejriwal and associates that there is no need to celebrate Modiji’s 75th birthday. The BJP constitution does not mention his ineligibility to serve as prime minister. He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
