Diplomatic Tensions Escalate: India Condemns Canada’s Expulsion of Diplomats

 


In a significant escalation of diplomatic tensions, India has strongly condemned Canada’s recent expulsion of six Indian diplomats. The Indian government described the move as “preposterous imputations” driven by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political agenda. This development follows the assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, which has been a point of contention between the two nations.
