Canada and India are experiencing significant diplomatic tensions due to the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Khalistani leader, on Canadian soil. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) claims to have evidence linking Indian government agents to Nijjar's killing ¹. As a result, Canada has expelled Indian diplomats and is considering imposing sanctions against India.

The situation began when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that there were credible allegations of Indian government involvement in Nijjar's death. India denied these allegations, calling them "preposterous" and accusing Trudeau's government of engaging in "vote bank politics" ¹. The Indian government has since expelled six Canadian diplomats and withdrawn its High Commissioner and other officials from Canada.
