Heightened Tensions Between India and Canada
Relations between India and Canada have dramatically escalated due to allegations involving the killing of Hardeep Singh Nidjar, a Canadian Sikh leader. The Canadian government has suggested a potential link between Indian government agents and this incident, leading India to strongly deny these assertions and label them as unfounded accusations. This situation is compounded by Canada's public identification of Indian diplomats as persons of interest in the murder case, prompting India to expel several Canadian diplomats in retaliation. The increasing hostilities signal a severe downturn in diplomatic ties, which were already fragile due to historical grievances and differing perspectives on the Sikh separatist movement.
