India has rejected allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that its government agents were behind the assassination of a prominent Sikh leader in Canada, a shocking disclosure that risks worsening ties between the two countries.
¡°Allegations of Government of India¡¯s involvement in any act of violence in Canada are absurd and motivated,¡± its Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement Tuesday.
