US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday urged his Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishanker to work with Canada to investigate the killing of a Khalistani terrorist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Earlier, Jaishankar also confirmed earlier that he had spoken to Blinken and the US National Security Advisor (NSA) Jake Sullivan about Canadian allegations of New Delhi’s possible involvement in the June killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Blinken met with Jaishankar at the State Department on Thursday afternoon. “We’re very concerned about the allegations that have been raised by Canada, by Prime Minister Trudeau,” Blinken told a news conference after a meeting with Mexican officials. “We have been in close contact with Canada about that and at same time we have engaged with the Indian government and urged them to work with Canada on an investigation,” he said, adding that he repeated the call in his meeting with Jaishankar.
