Canada expels top India diplomats, links them to murder of Sikh leader
SUMMARY
Canada recently expelled six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner, accusing them of involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar and other violent acts targeting dissidents in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed there was "clear and compelling evidence" that Indian agents had been involved in clandestine activities, coercion, and homicides, posing a significant threat to public safety. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed a broader campaign against Indian dissidents in Canada, involving organized crime and interference in democratic processes. India denied the accusations, accusing Trudeau of pursuing a "political agenda," and retaliated by ordering six Canadian diplomats to leave, citing concerns over the safety of its own diplomats.
