India and Canada have expelled their top diplomats as the row intensifies over last year’s assassination of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil.
Canadian police accused Indian agents of involvement in “homicides, extortion and violent acts” and targeting supporters of the pro-Khalistan movement.
India has rejected the allegations as “preposterous”, accusing Trudeau of appeasing Canada’s large Sikh community for political gain,
and maintained that Canada has provided no evidence to support its claims, and that accusations against its envoy, Sanjay Kumar Verma, are “ludicrous and deserve to be treated with contempt”.
Delhi also said Canada has not shared a shred of evidence with the Government of India, despite many requests.
