WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is in touch with India and Canada after Ottawa said Indian government agents had links to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday.
“We are in constant contact with our Canadian counterparts … and we have also been in touch with the Indian government as well,” Sullivan told reporters at the White House.
“I firmly reject the idea that there is a wedge between the US and Canada. We have deep concerns about the allegations and we would like to see this investigation carried forward and the perpetrators held to account.”
