SRINAGAR: Omar Abdullah, the head of the National Conference, said on Thursday that Canada should provide India with the proof of its accusations regarding the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar so that New Delhi can, if necessary, take "corrective measures." "Canada claims that India was responsible for some occurrence there. According to Abdullah, they ought to give India access to the evidence. He claimed that S. Jaishankar, the minister for external affairs, had stated that India would respond if Ottawa shared its proof with New Delhi. The same thing was said by India at the UN as well. If there is any proof, the foreign minister urged you to provide it. After that, India would take any necessary corrective action that is required. Only verbal allegations would not be effective; India should be given the proof, according to Abdullah, who served as the state minister for foreign affairs in the Vajpayee administration. The previous chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir expressed regret at the tension in relations between India and Canada. "The two nations had positive relations, whether it was through trade or interpersonal interactions. There would be study trips from our pupils, he continued. Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's suspicions of a ''possible'' participation of Indian spies in the killing of Nijjar in June, the relations between India and Canada came under intense strain.India has dismissed the accusations as "absurd" and "motivated," and in retaliation for Ottawa's removal of an Indian official over the matter, has also expelled a senior Canadian ambassador.
