New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday urged PM Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah to respond to Canada’s allegation that Shah was behind plots to target Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, The Free Press Journal reported.
Taking to the platform X, Swamy said ‘Modi and Amit Shah should hold a joint media conference and answer questions; otherwise, a PIL is inevitable’.
Swamy, a known critic of PM Modi, was responding to media reports about the Canadian government’s allegation against Amit Shah.
Canada’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison admitted to have told the U.S newspaper The Washington Post that Shah was behind the plot.
News agency Reuters quoted Morrison as saying that ‘The journalist called me and asked if it was (Shah) that person. I confirmed it was that person.’
In a subsequent post on X, Swamy asked PM Modi to either hold a press conference or remove Shah from his post until the court clears him of the allegations.
Further attacking the Modi regime, Swamy took on the Centre’s recent LAC agreement with China, asking PM Modi to ‘recover and restore the status quo ante’, adding that ‘India claims an LAC agreement, but there is a loss of our land which the Chinese have gained. What kind of agreement is that?’
Meanwhile, India denied the Canadian government’s allegation that Union Minister Amit Shah was behind the plot to kill Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
