Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national secretary Tejinder Pall Singh Bagga on Monday made a sensational claim, saying killed Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gay and that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to like him.
His statement comes amid a diplomatic standoff between India and Canada that ensued after Trudeau alleged the Indian government was involved in Nijjar’s killing. India has asked Canada to provide proof to back the allegations but none have come yet.
The US has admitted that the five eyes intelligence sharing played a part.
Canada is claiming to have Indian government communiques and signal intelligence backing them up.
