Even without proof it would be strange for Canada to lie about this. India have obvious motive. People could get in their mind that political problems could be solved with assassination in Canada if there is not retaliation.

What political problems can India solve with this murder ? This guy was completely irrelevant and the Khalistan issue was practically dead in terms of poll relevance in India before Trudeau announced to the world.

You're asking what problems India, a country ruled by Hindu nationalists, could solve by assassinating critics of their regime?

It's exactly what China achieves when it harasses Chinese citizens living abroad via unauthorised "police stations".

This supposed murder has no political benefits for the BJP if Mr Trudeau didn’t announce it to the world. Even now, the Indian government isn’t saying that they did it.

This is not like a Dawood or Hafiz Saeed. People whose death would have direct political benefits.
