We support Canada's probe, in touch with India: US NSA amid Nijjar row

At a press briefing in the White House on September 21, United States' National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that his government supports Canada's investigation into the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

“As soon as we heard from the Canadian PM publicly about the allegations, we went out publicly ourselves and expressed our deep concern about them, our support for law enforcement progress to get to the bottom of what exactly happened and ensure perpetrators are held accountable,” said Sullivan.

He added that the US officials have also been in touch with the Indian government.

"I firmly reject that there is a wedge between the US and Canada. We have deep concerns about the allegations, we would like to see the investigation carried forward and perpetrators held to account. That is what the US has stood for from the moment this became public and will fully stand by till this fully plays its way out," Sullivan added.
