OTTAWA — As the former defence minister faces questions over his intervention for a group seeking to flee Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in 2021, federal Liberals won’t say whether he extended a helping hand to any others.

Harjit Sajjan, who is now emergency preparedness minister, has said he used “appropriate” channels to relay information to the Canadian Armed Forces about the whereabouts of a group of more than 200 Afghan Sikhs who were trapped.
