Breaking: Canada expelled Indian diplomat, know the full reason Indian diplomat was expelled
“If this allegation proves true, it would be a major violation of our sovereignty and the most basic rule of how countries should treat each other,” Jolie said. That’s why we have expelled a top Indian diplomat.
Amid investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations that the Indian government was involved in the murder of a Sikh activist in Canada, the government there has expelled a top Indian diplomat from the country.
Trudeau had said in Parliament that Canadian intelligence agencies are investigating allegations of Indian government involvement in the murder of pro-Khalistan Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Nijjar was shot on June 18 outside a Sikh cultural center in Surrey, British Columbia. Trudeau had told Parliament that he had raised the matter of the massacre with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi at the G20 summit last week.
According to Trudeau, he told Modi that any involvement of the Indian government This would be unacceptable and he has also requested for cooperation in the investigation. Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie said that as a result the Indian intelligence chief in Canada has been expelled.
“If this allegation proves true, it would be a major violation of our sovereignty and the most basic rule of how countries should treat each other,” Jolie said. That’s why we have expelled a top Indian diplomat.
The Indian Embassy in Ottawa did not immediately react to the development. The expulsion comes at a time when relations between Canada and India are tense. Trade talks have derailed and Canada has canceled a trade mission to India that was planned for later this year.
According to a statement issued by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, during his meeting with Trudeau at the G20 summit, Modi had expressed “deep concern” over Canada’s handling of the pro-Khalistan movement abroad. The Sikh population in Canada is more than 7,70,000. This figure is two percent of the total population of the country.
