Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, has accused the Indian government of promoting violence in Canada, specifically targeting Sikh separatists, reports UNB.
Canadian Prime Minister claimed that Canada's sovereignty was violated by India as they targeted Sikh dissidents, calling it a "horrific mistake."
In June 2023, the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a proponent of an independent Khalistani state, took place. As the incident took place on Canada’s soil, the tension between the two nations escalated. Canada believes Indian agents are responsible for the assassination while India keeps dismissing the allegation
in response to the dispute, India and Canada expelled each other's top diplomats
According to Trudeau, Nijjar’s murder is part of a broader Indian effort to target dissidents in Canada. Even though Canada is in active trade relations with India, it also emphasizes the importance of defending its sovereignty.
