New Delhi, Sep 19 (PTI) India on Tuesday outrightly rejected as "baseless" Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim of a "potential link” between Indian government agents and the killing of a Khalistani leader.

After Trudeau made the comments in Parliament, Canadian Foreign Minister  Mélanie Joly announced that a “top Indian diplomat” has been expelled from Canada.

In a statement in Canadian Parliament, Trudeau claimed that there were "credible allegations of a potential link” between Indian government agents and the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
