Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of being involved in the fatal shooting of Canadian Sikh leader "Hardeep Singh Nijjar" and expelled India's intelligence chief in Ottawa in retaliation.
Trudeau deemed this foreign government involvement on Canadian soil as a violation of sovereignty and emphasized the need to protect Canadian citizens.
As a result, the Canadian government expelled a senior Indian diplomat, reportedly the head of India's foreign intelligence agency.
The deceased, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, had advocated for an independent Sikh state, while India accused him of carrying out attacks in their country. India denied Trudeau's allegations, describing them as absurd, and expressed concern over political figures in Canada openly sympathizing with such elements.
This incident further strained relations between the two countries.
