Trudeau had said this after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Italy during the G7 summit. Nijjar was gunned down in Canada’s Surrey, outside a parking lot on June 18 last year.

India has been maintaining that the main issue between the two countries is that of Canada giving space to pro-Khalistan elements operating from Canadian soil with impunity.
