Thu Oct 17 03:50:10 UTC 2024: ## Canadian PM Trudeau Backtracks on Accusations Against India, Citing Lack of Concrete Evidence in Nijjar Murder Case

**New Delhi, India:** Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has retracted accusations levelled against India regarding the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, stating there is no concrete evidence to substantiate the claims. Instead, he admitted the information is based solely on intelligence reports.

This backtracking comes after India vehemently denied any involvement in Nijjar’s murder, calling the allegations “baseless” and “motivated by ulterior motives.”

The incident had sparked a diplomatic row between the two nations, with Canada recalling its ambassador from India and imposing sanctions on some individuals.

Meanwhile, in India, news continues to emerge on various fronts. A speakeasy liquor factory was discovered in a posh area of Patna, Bihar, raising concerns about illegal alcohol trade in the state.

Adding cheer to the festive season, Indian central government employees received a welcome salary hike ahead of Diwali, with the implementation of the latest Dearness Allowance (DA) increase.

Today marks the celebration of Valmiki Jayanti, commemorating the birth anniversary of the great sage and author of the epic Ramayana. People across the country are honoring the revered figure with prayers and festivities.
