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. The Canadian reports on Nijjar came during PM Mark Carney’s visit to India.

Chugh said, “The biggest lie of this Kejriwal-Mann scheme is the promise of Rs 10 lakh health security. The reality is that the scheme provides actual insurance of only Rs 1 lakh per family, while the remaining Rs 9 lakh is left to the mercy of the debt-ridden Punjab government. Where will this Rs 9 lakh come from when the state is already struggling financially?” Chugh said, “Kejriwal and his party are loudly advertising the false Rs 10-lakh claim, but they have imposed such harsh capping on even …
