What Canada’s Foreign Minister Said About the Extradition of Khalistani Terrorist Arsh Dalla | India News – Times of India

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly has said she has no information about India’s extradition request Khalistani terrorist Arshdeep Singh, also known as Arsh Dalla, after his arrest.
Joly was speaking to reporters when asked about reports about India asking for help in extraditing “Indian terrorists on their list.” However, the reporter did not mention any names.
“First, I will not comment on any ongoing investigation and we will continue to contact Indian diplomats if there are any questions regarding this matter,” Joly said.
“I don’t have any specific information about what you’re talking about, but we will continue to have conversations at the State Department level,” she said, adding that “about the initial violence that is happening in Canada and to ultimately to ensure that we are able to find a way forward and I have also been in touch with the Foreign Minister of India.” The interview was broadcast by CPAC on Friday.

This came a day after India worked with Canada to secure the extradition of Dalla, who was arrested on October 28 over a shooting incident in Ontario.
“Arsh Dalla is a declared perpetrator in more than 50 cases of murder, attempted murder, extortion and terrorist acts, including terrorist financing. A Red Corner Notice was issued against him in May 2022. He was declared an individual terrorist in India in 2023. In July 2023, the Indian government had requested the Canadian government for his provisional arrest,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
This comes amid rising tensions between India and Canada after the two countries withdrew each other’s diplomats. Relations have reached a low point in recent days, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemning attacks on Hindu temples in Canada.
