The tension between Canada and India over the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar again spookes. As, on Tuesday, the Canadian Parliament honored the first anniversary of his death by observing a moment of silence.

Greg Fergus, the speaker of Canada’s House of Commons requested everyone to stand and observe a moment of silence for Nijjar. While in Vancouver, outside the Indian Consulate, the Khalistani terrorist’s supporters staged a mock murder trial for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On that very day, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlighted the opportunity of re-establishing good ties with India as PM Modi consecutively held the centre for the third time now.

Speaking to CBS News, Trudeau noted, “Now that he’s been re-elected, I believe there’s an opportunity for us to engage, particularly on critical issues related to national security, ensuring the safety of Canadians, and upholding the rule of law.”
