US EditionFormer PM Harper calls for renewed ties with India, does not mention murder probe
- Former prime minister Stephen Harper called on June 1, 2025, in Brampton, Ontario, for Canada to renew ties with India while rejecting the Khalistan movement.
- Harper made his remarks amid a deep freeze in Canada-India relations since September 2023 after Canadian allegations linked Indian agents to the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
- At an event hosted by a group dedicated to enhancing India-Canada trade, Harper called on all Canadian political parties to end their associations with Khalistan activists in order to rebuild strong bilateral relations.
- Harper highlighted the importance of India, a democratic nation with 1.4 billion people, as a vital partner in today’s unstable global environment and noted that during his tenure, his team refrained entirely from engaging with the Khalistan movement.
- Harper’s call signals a push for Canada to move past recent disputes with India, though he did not address Canadian RCMP allegations against New Delhi, which continue to strain diplomatic relations and leave ambassador posts vacant.
