Last Updated:March 02, 2026, 18:38 IST India sharply criticised Canadian media reports on Hardeep Nijjar’s case as “baseless” and “politically motivated and called for credible law enforcement processes.

These claims are baseless, politically motivated and unsupported by credible evidence despite repeated requests. India believes that concerns of this nature must be addressed through credible law enforcement and judicial processes, not …
