Canada and India make tit-for-tat envoy expulsions over killing of Sikh leader
Top intelligence officials expelled after Trudeau accused India of involvement in assassination of exiled Hardeep Singh Niijar
Canada and India have announced tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions after Justin Trudeau’s explosive allegation that New Delhi was behind a state-sponsored assassination on Canadian soil – accusations that India derided as “absurd”.
Speaking on Tuesday, the Canadian prime minister stood firm on the allegations that India was implicated in the death of the Sikh independence advocate Hardeep Singh Niijar, who was shot dead in Surrey, British Columbia, in June.
