Diplomatic Strain Due to Hardeep Singh Nijar's Murder Case
A significant diplomatic rift has emerged between India and Canada following the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijar, a known Khalistani separatist, in June 2023. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of involvement, leading India to expel six Canadian diplomats and withdraw its High Commissioner. This escalating tension stems from accusations made by Trudeau in September 2022, where he claimed to have credible evidence linking Indian officials to the assassination, which India has vehemently denied as baseless and motivated. As both nations grapple with these allegations, their bilateral relationship suffers, with India asserting that Canada is harboring extremists threatening its sovereignty.
