India’s foreign ministry has issued a travel advisory expressing concern for the safety of its citizens in Canada, citing “politically condoned hate crimes and criminal violence.” This move comes amid escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations over allegations that India was involved in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, earlier this year.
The controversy began when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged India to take the investigation into Nijjar’s shooting death seriously. The allegations triggered a series of diplomatic expulsions and a firm denial from India, which dismissed any suggestion of its involvement in Nijjar’s killing as “absurd.” The statement indicated that threats had specifically targeted Indian diplomats and members of the Indian community who oppose anti-India agendas.
The diplomatic standoff has also drawn attention to India’s accusations that Canada is overlooking the activities of hardline Sikh nationalists advocating for the creation of Khalistan. The situation remains tense, with both countries closely monitoring developments in this complex and sensitive diplomatic dispute.
