The brazen June 2023 assassination of a Sikh activist in Canada sparked a diplomatic row with India that continues to escalate.
Toronto — Canada and India have expelled each other's senior diplomats in a growing diplomatic standoff sparked by the murder of a prominent Canadian Sikh activist last year. The tit-for-tat expulsions come amid serious allegations by Canada that India n government agents were involved in the murder and extortion of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil — accusations that India has firmly denied.
'Keeping Canadians safe is the fundamental job of the Canadian government. The decision to expel these individuals was made with great consideration and only after the RCMP gathered ample, clear and concrete evidence which identified six individuals as persons of interest in the Nijjar case,' Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement Monday.
