TL;DR Summary

Canadian Sikhs staged protests outside India's diplomatic missions in Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa, expressing their support for making India's Punjab region an independent state for Sikhs. The protests were sparked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's statement linking the Indian government to the murder of a Sikh separatist advocate in British Columbia.

The Indian government has denied the allegations and warned travelers of "anti-India activities" in Canada.
