India Strengthens Anti-Terrorism Ties with Canada and US
India's external affairs ministry reaffirmed its commitment to counter terrorism and trans-national crime in collaboration with Canada and the US. This statement follows the indictment of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for the 2023 assassination of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The US, Canada, and European law enforcement agencies conducted Operation Hard Ball, leading to the arrest of 24 individuals linked to Indian criminal gangs. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed that evidence did not implicate Indian officials in Nijjar's killing, contradicting earlier allegations by former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. India and the US have established strong cooperation against organized crime, with ongoing efforts to combat threats posed by criminal networks.
