But Trudeau, at a parliamentary inquiry on Wednesday, said Canada had “clear… indications that India had violated Canada’s sovereignty”. “Canada has presented us (India) no evidence whatsoever in support of the serious allegations that it has chosen to level against India and Indian diplomats,” he said in a statement. US prosecutors charged an Indian citizen last November over a foiled attempt in New York to kill an advocate for a separate Sikh homeland.
