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.

Canada’s Foreign Minister, Mélanie Joly, stated that India was asked to waive diplomatic and consular immunity to cooperate in the investigation but refused. In retaliation, India has expelled six Canadian diplomats, further straining the already tense relations between the two countries.

The diplomatic row underscores the complexities and sensitivities surrounding international relations and the impact of domestic political agendas on global diplomacy. Both nations now face the challenge of navigating this crisis while maintaining their respective national interests.
