The ministry of external affairs, in a late night statement, affirmed its stand after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified before a Commission of Inquiry amid a massive diplomatic row. The MEA on Thursday said what it has heard only “confirms” New Delhi’s consistent stand that Canada has “presented us no evidence” in support of the serious allegations Canada chose to level against India and Indian diplomats.

Acknowledging that he had no “hard evidentiary proof” and had only intelligence when Canada alleged the involvement of Indian government agents in the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year, Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said there were “clear indications” that India had violated Canadian sovereignty.
