Canada should name Nijjar's killer, Indian official who 'ordered' hit: Officials

Indian officials have said that Canada hasn't shared any evidence on Nijjar murder. They said Trudeau should name the killer.

Indian security officials have claimed that Canada has not shared any credible evidence through either the diplomatic or the intelligence channel with New Delhi on Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder.
According to Hindustan Times, the officials said that neither Canada nor the United States shared any intelligence on the issue in the run-up to the G20 Summit.
The officials further said that Canadian PM Justin Trudeau should name the killer of Nijjar and the Indian government official, if any' who allegedly ordered the hit.
The officials insisted that Trudeau&rsquo;s allegations are politically motivated with an eye on the Sikh diaspora in Canada.

Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair called India-Canada relationship important amid tensions over Nijjar's murder.

Relationship with India important: Canada Defence Minister amid Nijjar row

Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair called India-Canada relationship important amid tensions over Nijjar's murder.

Terming the relationship with India as "important", Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair on Sunday said that his country will continue to pursue partnerships like the Indo-Pacific strategy while the investigation of the killing of a Sikh separatist leader continues.
Tensions flared between India and Canada ᨊfollowing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's explosive allegations of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, on his country's soil on June 18 in British Columbia. India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.
India angrily rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
Canada had been seeking deeper trade, defence and immigration ties with India before the &ldquo;credible intelligence,&rdquo; as Trudeau called it, was first raised with Canadian officials, Global News reported.
In an interview aired Sunday on The West Block, Blair suggested Canada will continue to pursue those partnerships while the investigation into allegations continues, calling the relationship with India &ldquo;important.&rdquo; &ldquo;We understand that this can be, and has proven to be, a challenging issue with respect to our relationship with India,&rdquo; he was quoted as saying by Global News.
&ldquo;But at the same time, we have a responsibility to defend the law, defend our citizens, and at the same time make sure that we conduct a thorough investigation and get to the truth.&rdquo; If the allegations are proven true, Blair said &ldquo;there is a very significant concern that Canada will have with respect to the violation of our sovereignty in the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.&rdquo; Blair said the Indo-Pacific strategy was still a critical one for Canada and has led to an increased military presence in the region and commitments for further patrol capabilities.
The strategy commits USD 492.9 million over five years toward those military priorities, out of a total of nearly USD 2.3 billion over the same period.
On Thursday, India asked Canada to come down hard on terrorists and anti-India elements operating from its soil and suspended visa services for Canadians, as escalating tensions between the two nations over the killing of Nijjar pushed their ties to an all-time low.
India also asked Canada to downsize its diplomatic staff in the country, arguing that there should be parity in strength and rank equivalence in the mutual diplomatic presence. The size of Canadian diplomatic staff in India is larger than what New Delhi has in Canada.

Rahul Gandhi took a pop quiz as he attended a media conclave on Sunday

India or Bharat? Messi or Ronaldo? Cricket or Football? Workout or Netflix and chill?'
These are just some of the questions Rahul Gandhi faced at a conclave organised the Pratidin media group on Sunday. While Rahul gave prompt answers to some questions, there were a few that put him in a dilemma.&nbsp;
Rahul Gandhi said he prefers workout to Neftlix and would rather read a book then watch reels.&nbsp;
Answering some sports questions, the Congress leader said he likes football over cricket. When asked to choose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Rahul said he likes the latter. However, he added that he thinks Messi is a better footballer. Rahul said that he liks Ronaldo's kindness but if he had a football team of his own, he would draft Messi.&nbsp;
He was also asked if he likes Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma but Rahul Gandhi did not name his pick. He said he is not a cricket fan.&nbsp;

Yachts to Canadian Premier League: NIA chargesheet reveals Khalistan leaders' financial ops 

The probe agency has meticulously documented 13 instances in the charge sheet that occurred between 2019 and 2021

As the NIA probe into the financial operations of prominent Khalistani leaders and criminal figures based in Canada continues, new details have come to fore.&nbsp;
According to the NIA chargesheet, the funds generated in India, primarily through extortion and smuggling activities, are not only used to finance their acts of violence in both India and Canada but are also being invested in diverse ventures such as yachts, film projects, and even the Canadian Premier League.
Moreover, the money amassed by these gangsters has found its way into the entertainment and hospitality sector, including clubs and bars in Thailand.
The probe agency has meticulously documented 13 instances in the charge sheet that occurred between 2019 and 2021, in which sums ranging from ₹5 lakh to ₹60 lakh were illicitly transferred from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi to destinations in Canada and Thailand via the hawala network.
The NIA's charge sheet was filed in March this year against 14 individuals as part of a larger Khalistan-gangster nexus.&nbsp;

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections against him from Hyderabad.

Dare Rahul Gandhi to fight contest poll from Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections against him from Hyderabad.

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
The AIMIM MP was addressing a public gathering in his parliamentary constituency, Hyderabad.
Owaisi said that the Babri Masjid, in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, was demolished under the regime of the grand old party.
"I am challenging your leader (Rahul Gandhi) to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad. You keep giving big statements, come to the ground and fight against me. People from Congress will say a lot of things, but I am ready...Babri Masjid and Secretariat's mosque were demolished under the Congress regime..." he said.
The Congress and AIMIM are at loggerheads in Telangana as both parties are slugging it out to reach the helm in the upcoming state's Assembly elections, which are scheduled to be held later this year.
Earlier this month, Rahul Gandhi while speaking at Vijayabheri Sabha in Telangana's Tukkuguda, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and AIMIM are working in unison in Telangana and that his party is fighting against this troika.
"In Telangana, the Congress party is not fighting against BRS but with BRS, BJP and AIMIM combined. They call themselves different parties but they are working together unitedly," Rahul Gandhi had said.
The Wayanad MP had also claimed that there are no CBI-ED cases against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao or AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi since Prime Minister Narendra Modi considers them his "own people".
All political parties in the fray are leaving no stone unturned to emerge victorious in the Telangana Assembly polls. The ruling BRS has already announced its list of candidates, while the Congress has announced its "six guarantees" which the party says will be fulfilled if they are voted to power.
