Accusing Trudeau of political maneuvering and overlooking Baloch's death, the BHRC expressed its reservations to the Canadian prime minister and underscored theinconsistencies in the government's response to her mysterious demise.
Karima Baloch Vs Hardeep Singh Nijjar: The difference
The BHRC claimed that there was a "stark contrast" with the Canadian government’s actions on the Khalistani terrorist Nijjar.
It slammed Trudeau’s "conspicuous silence regarding the high-profile, unexplained death of Karima Baloch stands in stark contrast to his impassioned speeches in the House of Commons and extensive media coverage concerning the shooting death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada".
Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official and senior fellow at American Enterprise Institute, also slammed Trudeau overBaloch's death.
Rubin said what is striking about Trudeau's "shameless and cynical action" is that while he's making a statement now, the killing of Baloch that was carried out allegedly with Pakistani assistance is a police matter and has not reached higher echelons of power in Ottawa.
Rubin made the remarks during a panel discussion at the Hudson Institute think-tank.
Tensions between India and Canada escalated following Trudeau's explosive allegations, leading to reciprocal diplomatic expulsions.
Nijjar was shot dead in British Columbia on June 18
India has vehemently rejected allegations of its involvement in his death as "absurd" and "motivated."
