Five Eyes Alliance To Probe India’s Role In Nijjar’s Murder

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed that his government is working closely with its Five Eyes allies, especially the United States, in investigating the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan leader. The Five Eyes Alliance is an intelligence-sharing group made up of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Trudeau has already spoken with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and New Zealand's Winston Peters about the case.

The US State Department has stepped into the picture, urging India to cooperate with Canada’s investigation. The case centers on the murder of Nijjar, who was shot dead by unknown attackers at a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia, in June of last year. Nijjar was a vocal supporter of the Khalistan movement, which seeks an independent Sikh state separate from India. India had previously labeled him a terrorist under its Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), making the situation even more complex.
