OTTAWA – India will not provide information to Canadian investigators over the murder of a Sikh separatist leader until Canada shares evidence, India’s High Commissioner to Canada told The Globe And Mail newspaper in an interview published on Feb 5.
“We need relevant and specific evidence for us to help the Canadian authorities,” High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma told the newspaper a week ago.
“Unless we see something relevant and specific, it would be extremely difficult for us to do anything to help the Canadian authorities.” REUTERS
