Diplomatic Tensions Rise Between Canada and India

The recent murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has ignited a serious diplomatic clash between Canada and India. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused Indian government agents of being involved in the crime, describing their actions as a 'fundamental error' in targeting Canadian citizens.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has raised concerns about organized crime and threats to democratic processes, while U.S. prosecutors have implicated an Indian agent in a separate case. In response, India has denied any involvement and has expelled Canadian diplomats, further escalating the situation.

With Sikhs representing 2% of Canada’s population, this conflict underscores the delicate balance in international relations and the potential ramifications of state-sponsored actions on foreign soil.
