    Independent blogger claims China's involvement in Hardeep Nijjar's killing

    On June 18, 2023, Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead at a Gurdwara’s parking lot in Surrey. Since then, the diplomatic tensions between India and Canada continued. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau levelled ‘absurd’ and ‘motivated’ allegations against India. He alleged India’s involvement in killing K-Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar without proof. 19 days passed, Canada failed to provide evidence of India’s involvement in killing Hardeep Nijjar. Now, an Independent blogger Jennifer Zeng made a blockbuster claim on Hardeep Nijjar's killing. She alleged China’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Jennifer Zeng said that the agents of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were involved in Nijjar’s death. The blogger attributed her allegations to Chinese writer Lao Deng, who according to her, lives in Canada now. She also said that China’s purpose was to frame India creating discord between India and the West. However, there has been no response to Zeng’s allegations, posted in the video on Oct 08 from Chinese foreign ministry.
