    Canada refuses India's travel advisory in the midst of a growing diplomatic dispute.

Canada rejects India's security advisory, asserting its safety and calls for calm amid the escalating diplomatic tension over a Sikh leader's killing.

A diplomatic standoff arose when Canadian PM Justin Trudeau alleged potential involvement of Indian government agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June. India called these allegations "absurd," resulting in the expulsion of a senior Canadian diplomat as a response to Ottawa's action. India has now issued a strong advisory urging its citizens in Canada and potential travelers to exercise "utmost caution" due to rising anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes in the country.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs cited "threats" against Indian diplomats and segments of the Indian community opposing the "anti-India agenda" in Canada, advising Indian nationals to avoid areas where such incidents have occurred. Canada's Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, sought to reassure Indian nationals by asserting Canada's safety, acknowledging that allegations of Indian government involvement in the Khalistani separatist's killing had strained relations. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Miller called for calm, emphasizing the need to continue discussions with India.

Minister of Housing, Infrastructure, and Communities, Sean Fraser, abstained from discussing the details of the investigation into Nijjar's death to prevent any interference with ongoing inquiries. He displayed trust in the security services' capability to carry out a comprehensive investigation and stressed the significance of maintaining confidence in the justice system.
