Tension in relations between india and canada is at its peak after india was accused of the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau said in parliament on tuesday that indian agents may have a hand in the murder of Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar. After accusing india, canada ordered a top indian diplomat present in Ottawa to leave the country.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar went to canada from punjab in 1996. He started his career there as a plumber, but soon he got involved in Khalistani activities. On june 18, Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurudwara in the city of Surrey in the Canadian state of british Columbia. Let us know what has happened in the dispute between india and canada since Tuesday.
The dispute between india and canada started in such a way that Justin Trudeau addressed the parliament on Tuesday. During this, Trudeau said that india may have played a role in the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He said that Canadian agencies are firmly aware that the indian government may be behind the murder of Nijjar. After this he asked the top indian diplomat to leave Canada.
India also responded to Canada's allegations. The indian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that we completely reject the claims made by the Canadian prime minister in Parliament.
