The premier also added more details Wednesday to additional charges announced this week by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Police took the rare step in Canada of releasing information about several ongoing investigations “due to serious threats to public safety.”
RCMP said on Monday there were “more than a dozen credible and imminent threats to life” that were “specifically” focused on members of the pro-Khalistan movement.
According to the RCMP, a subsequent investigation led police to alleged criminal activity organized by Indian government agents.
Prime Minister Trudeau said police made the announcement with the goal of putting an end to a series of activities that have resulted in drive-by shootings, home invasions, violent extortion and even murder in South Asian communities across Canada.
India has strongly denied all the claims and claimed Canada has not provided any evidence to support its claims.
RCMP and national security advisers traveled to Singapore last weekend to meet Indian officials. RCMP said the meeting was fruitless.
Following Monday’s claims by Canadian officials, Britain and the United States urged India to cooperate with Canada’s legal process.
The British Foreign Office said in a statement Wednesday that it was in contact with Ottawa “about the serious developments that have emerged from Canada’s independent investigation.”
“The United Kingdom has full confidence in Canada’s judicial system,” the statement added.
“The right next step is for the Indian government to cooperate with Canada’s legal process.”
The United States, another close ally of Canada, said India was not cooperating with Canadian authorities as the White House had hoped.
“We have been clear that these allegations are extremely serious and need to be taken seriously,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a State Department briefing on Tuesday. “We want the Indian government to cooperate with Canada in its investigation.”
“Clearly they didn’t choose that path.”
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Ottawa was in close contact with the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, comprised of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, on the issue.
